Scotland on Sunday can also reveal that the controversial member for Bethnal Green and Bow has suffered a setback over his one-man shows, An Audience With George Galloway.
The opening show - scheduled for last night - was cancelled after only a quarter of the tickets were sold. Take-up for the remaining performances has been similarly poor.
They're not poor, they're abysmal.
The Reading venue, which has a capacity of 700, admitted only 150 tickets had been sold. In Cambridge, where the capacity is 400, again only around 150 tickets had been sold.
At Lewis, Sussex, just 30 tickets out of 150 had been sold, according to the box office.
In Southampton and Northampton, both admitted to selling fewer than 100 tickets. A spokesman for the Wyvern Theatre, Halifax, admitted fewer than 200 tickets had been sold, leaving 1,200 empty seats.
Get this howler from his spokesman:
Last night a spokesman for George Galloway said: "I don't think ticket sales have anything to do with it. George is committed to doing the shows that don't clash with the work he has to do at Respect.
Gee, I guess Big Brother didn't clash with his Respect work. Except that Respect has issued a rebuke to Galloway for his appearance. Maybe someone should tell Galloway's spokesman.
I think Big Brother showed the world the real Galloway and they didn't like what they saw.
