Peter Kay has teased a “big announcement” coming today (December 8).
The comedian took to social media to write a message to his fans to thank them for their support, saying yesterday (December 7) that some news would be shared this evening on BBC Radio 2.
“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,” Kay wrote, after kicking off his first tour in 12 years last week.
“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 [on Radio 2] just after 6pm,” Kay’s message to fans went on.

Elsewhere on the 111-date tour, Kay will perform 27 shows in London, 16 in Birmingham, 12 in Sheffield, five in Leeds, four in Belfast, and two each in Cardiff, Glasgow, Newcastle, Nottingham and Liverpool. Tickets for all of the shows can be found here.
Kay’s return to the stage was announced last month, leading to overwhelming demand for tickets: the first run of shows were sold out within minutes of going on sale, and the O2 Priority website crashed with the “highest demand” it had seen in 15 years.
Responding to the amount of publicity he’d received over his comeback, Kay joked in an interview: “I should only be on the news if I’m dead!”
