Writing on Twitter on Wednesday night, Peter said: "I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came to the first shows in Manchester. It was incredible to be a part of such a happy experience.

"Everybody deserves a bit of joy. Here's to a lot more in the shows to come!! P.S. big announcement Thursday on Sara Cox Drivetime Show just after 6pm."

Peter, 49, kicked off his tour at Manchester AO Arena on Friday night. Stepping on stage he received a huge ovation from fans which left him in tears.

He told the sell-out crowd: “Aw you’ll have me in bits.”

“Lovely Manchester you made me cry,” he added.

“I can’t believe I cried, where did it come from all that emotion?”

The mammoth tour will see him perform at 110 shows in total across the country over the span of 2022, 2023, 2024, and well into 2025.

After announcing the tour, he said: "It’s good to get back to what I love doing best, stand-up comedy, and if there’s ever a time people need a laugh it’s now."
