One fan tweeted: “Why did I get emotional when I saw Peter Kay tonight? I love him so much 😭.”

Another added: “SOBBED when I was Peter Kay arrive on stage. Brought back so many memories from years ago.”

It really is a wonderful thing you’re doing tonight, raised a lot of money and having a dance. It’s very kind of you. It would be absolutely s*** if I were on my own.

Phoenix Nights and Car Share star Peter was once one of Britain’s most prolific stage acts with his record-breaking Tour That Doesn’t Tour Tour… Now On Tour.

However, the entertainer, 48, stepped away from the limelight in 2017 due to “unforeseen family circumstances”.

The comedy superstar did make a special appearance on stage last year for two charity specials after several years out of the limelight – and it sold out in seconds.

He also played two gigs August to raise money for Laura Nuttall, who has glioblastoma, the same form of brain cancer The Wanted singer Tom Parker had.
