Peter Kay fans were whipped up into a frenzy when he announced that he was heading back on the road with his first stand-up tour in 12 years. But they quickly realised they would be facing a battle for tickets when the pre-sale opportunity to get a place at one of the gigs ended in a scramble and organisers for the highly-anticipated upcoming UK tour issuing an apology to customers.
Peter revealed that he would be returning to the stage in an ad played during the launch episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here. The Bolton-born star randomly popped up on-screen with a very special advert in which Peter told a neighbour that he was going back on tour while clinging onto a roll of carpet for his mum's house.
Peter's huge new UK comedy tour, aptly titled the Better Late Than Never Tour, will open in just a matter of weeks, starting on home turf with two nights at Manchester's AO Arena next month and what was initially a string of dates through to summer 2023 has now extended all the way into early 2025 after fans tried in their droves to get tickets.
