Peter Kay has reportedly been offered the chance to make his TV comeback in Sky One sitcom Brassic.
The comedian, 46, stepped away from the limelight in 2017 and has only made rare appearances ever since.
However, he's now said to have been given the chance to make a comedy return in Brassic, which stars Michelle Keegan.
Writer and co-creator Danny Brocklehurst is believed to be keen to get Kay in for a cameo role.
According to the Daily Star, he said: "There are so many people it would be good fun to have in.
"I know Peter Kay loved the show’s season one. It’d be amazing if we could get him in it."
The show focuses on a group of working class mates living in the fictional northern town of Hawley.
The second season of the series is set to air later this month.
