Comedian Russell Kane, 50, has revealed he and his wife Lindsey Cole regularly fly to Ibiza for 24-hour party trips, even after dropping their daughter at school. The ITV star, who shares 10-year-old Mina with Lindsey, said they once kissed their daughter at the school gates, ran to the airport, and were back in time for story time the next evening.
“We landed at 2pm, got a bit tipsy in the pool, went to the nightclub, danced till 7am, slept until 2pm. Then we’re back home at 8pm for story time,” Kane told the source. He described the trips as “guilt free” because they only missed the school run and one dinner, during which their daughter was with her grandmother.
Kane, who has been married to wellness entrepreneur Lindsey since 2014, said communication is key to their relationship. “We’re still obsessed with each other,” he admitted, adding that they maintain an active sex life. “We s**g all the time. It cannot be undervalued, sex between a couple.”
The comedian, currently on his longest-ever tour, also dismissed claims that “woke culture” has harmed comedy. “I don’t know a comedian who’s been cancelled for doing comedy,” he said. “If only I was brave enough to say some slightly more outrageous and hurtful things, I’d probably be number one on Netflix.” He added that the opposite of woke is asleep, saying, “Just because I recognise that someone of colour has had a different life journey to me – I’m not woke, I’m just not f**king ignorant.”
Kane is now hosting ITV’s new quiz app The Spin Off alongside Sian Welby. He trains daily with quizzes playing in the background, calling it his “dream” to become a Chaser. After his tour ends in December, he plans to pursue acting, including learning Shakespearean verse.
