Paddy McGuinness makes quip about Peter Kay tickets after scramble as he 'turns negatives to positives'

It's fair to say there was pure chaos when pre-sale tickets for Peter Kay's tour went on sale. Last weekend, the comedian surprised fans by announcing he will be heading back out on the road - a whole 12 years after he last completed a stand-up tour.

Peter revealed the exciting news with 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 which saw Peter, 49, reveal to a neighbour that he was going back on tour while clinging onto a roll of carpet for his mum's house.

He even revealed during a chat with Zoe Ball on her BBC Radio 2 Breakfast show that he kept filming of the special ad local, and even borrowed said carpet from a local shop. 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.
