Ben Newman, popularly known as Spudman, a TikTok sensation and food truck owner from Tamworth, has announced he will take a six-week break to embark on a national tour. In a video announcement made on Tuesday, he described this decision as "one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make," as it involves stepping away from his steady income. Spudman will visit six different locations across the country, although specific tour dates are yet to be revealed. He expressed a mix of excitement and stress regarding the tour, stating, "It's going to be exciting, it's going to be scary and it's going to be like very, very stressful." Upon his return to Tamworth, he promised to do something extraordinary for his fans, aiming to come back "with a bang." Support from his fans has been enthusiastic, with many suggesting various tour locations, including a humorous remark about New York being too far out of the way. One fan acknowledged his impact, saying, "You put Tamworth on the map. No one knew where it was till you made it famous."
