Peter Kay fans have begged to see more of the comedian after he returned to TV with his Comedy Shuffle.
The funnyman cancelled his tour in December due to “unforeseen family circumstances” and has kept a relatively low profile in recent months.
But seeing him in the BBC’s Comedy Shuffle, which celebrates his best work, reminded fans of what they had been missing.
“Peter kay needs to do another tour a new phoenix nights and a new max and paddy. best comedian to grace the earth,” one fan posted on Twitter.
