Peter Kay in tears at standing ovation as he kicks off first tour in 12 years

Peter Kay was brought to tears as he got on stage solo for the first time in 12 years.

Last night the comedian returned to the stage to a huge standing ovation from fans on the opening night of his massive 110-date tour, which includes multiple nights at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena. He was left "in bits" by the overwhelming reception as he got the tour in 12 years up and running.

There was a feverish anticipation for the show - it being his first comedic tour in 12 years after he cancelled all 100 dates of a tour due to start in 2017 due to "unforeseen family circumstances." Peter arrived in a spotight silhouette just like James Bond, before the curtain fell to a solid wall of cheers and applause from the crowd.
