Peter Kay mural covered up just days after it was finished in 'petty' attack

A mural of Peter Kay has been covered up and defaced just days after it was completed. The mural of the much-loved Bolton comedian appeared on the Fallowfield Loop, underneath the A6 Stockport Road in Levenshulme, earlier this week.

The artist behind it is called Manchester Murals, aka Chris Moore. He said he finished the piece last Saturday after working on it for several days, and it received rave reviews from fans as word about it spread.

However, it has already been spray-painted over in what Chris says he interprets as a critique of him and his work. Peter's face has been covered with a message saying 'When you love cheap fame & money more than the culture' daubed on it.
