Peter Kay is to donate £14,000 to a children's charity - £1 for every ticket holder who went to see him at his O2 Arena stand up gig in London.
The car share and Phoenix Nights star, from Bolton, made the announcement at his show which was welcomed by huge cheers from the crowds. He told fans that a pound from each of their tickets would go to a secret Santa fund at Action for Children ahead of Christmas.
Kay was performing the first of his monthly residency gigs at the O2 as part of his nationwide tour – his first in 12 years, reports the Mirror. A representative for the star later confirmed that the donation would be made to the charity.
