While news of Peter Kay 's potential tour announcement may have come as somewhat of a surprise, the star has slowly but surely been making a return to normality in recent times - five years after disappearing from the limelight for personal reasons.
It's been suggested that the 48-year old is set to reveal major comeback plans in the form of an arena tour, in which he will hit the road for the first time in over a decade.
In a rare public appearance in April, however, Peter was pictured at the launch of a new wheelchair-accessible 'wheelyboat' near Bolton - the comic's birthplace.
