I love Peter Kay.... well maybe love is too strong, i should say I really like him.

Any thoughts on why he has been out of the public eye for so long?

🤔

I like him too. I read somewhere he was taking a break, due to family issues.

Serendipity22 Wed 31-May-23 13:16:48

Yes I read that too....

I saw a photo yesterday of him, he has lost loads weight...

Serendipity22 Wed 31-May-23 13:20:30

This is the photo i saw yesterday.

He’s touring now.

He's touring again! Yay! We've got tickets to see him in Birmingham, but not until 2025.
Blimey he has lost weight Serendipity. Where was the photo from?

Serendipity22 Wed 31-May-23 13:38:12

Ahhhh thats brilliant Jaxjacky I hope he is ok.

FC - spot on 👍

Saw him 3 weeks ago in the Hydro Glasgow. He joked about his weight loss at the start of the show. He's still as funny, we had a great night.

Always seems like a nice guy

I saw him in the O2 about a month ago. Wonderful night's entertainment. However, he did look very different and decidedly poorly. My assumption is that the 'family problems' were his own health and presumably he is now on the road of recovery and feels well enough to do this tour. Certainly hope so. Think he's terrific.

I like Peter Kay. I do hope that his weight loss is not the result of illness or worry, but who knows, he is entitled to his privacy regarding family matters.
Good to hear that he is touring again, that sounds positive.

Serendipity22 Wed 31-May-23 20:30:56

Yes so good to know he is back in the public eye and I am same thought as you Grannmarie I hope the weight loss is nothing more than just wanting to loose weight.

He is brilliant.

Oh I do hope he's not I'll. He's just so much fun. I'm smiling in anticipation as soon as I see him. He makes it all seem so effortless but I bet it's not!

I’m pretty sure he’s not been ill at all, he cancelled his last tour for ‘unforeseen family reasons’ which sounds like code for either his wife or children being ill to me, rather than him. He’s doing a residency at the O2 for months this year, so all must be well now, because that’s a big commitment.

Massive fan here too
I'm puzzled by the photo, Roy Castle died in 1994?

The other man is a fan who shared the photo with Peter on social media.

crazyH Wed 31-May-23 22:07:54

I don’t think that’s Roy Castle. His face is familiar. Hmmm…is he an American comedian?
