The 47-year-old has recently taken a break from his stand up career and has instead taken to the dancefloor as a Strictly Come Dancing contestant.
But Chris's tour is reportedly proving to be a "headache" for Strictly bosses, who were desperate to get him on the yearly Strictly UK tour, but it clashes with his gig dates.
A source told Mirror: "Craig has suggested that all this year’s favourites will be there but that’s not true. How can Chris be in two places at once? As things stand, Chris can’t do it because every show on his comedy tour from January 17 clashes."
With the star adding dates rather than cutting down, this is a move sure to leave Strictly bosses disappointed.
