Peter Kay set for showbiz return three years after cancelling live mega-tour

Much-loved Peter Kay is finally coming back in the spotlight after years away with a Radio 2 return.

And fans don't have long to wait - he is recording special show with Cat Deeley, which will air after Christmas.

The funnyman has kept a very low profile in recent years despite the public's desire to see more of the comedy star.

The show will be on Saturday January 2 from 10am - and Cat can't wait to return to the airwaves.

Popular Peter was last seen on TV since making a very brief appearance in April when he joined the fun on The Big Night In.

He has been enjoying a quiet life with wife Susan Gargan and hasn't felt the need to yet return to the showbiz spotlight.

Cat and husband Patrick, along with their two sons, Milo, four, and James, two, returned to the UK earlier this year after years of living out in Los Angeles.

The former SM:TV star is in "advance talks" for a lucrative come back on UK telly in 2021.

She is working hard to secure her very own primetime game show but is looking forward to her radio return in January.

Speaking about making her Radio 2 debut, Cat said: "We’re a radio house, so Radio 2 is constantly on in the kitchen, all day, every day, even when we were in LA.

"Although, due to the time difference, the line-up was slightly different.

"We loved having a Dance Devotion With Ana Matronic dinner on a Friday night, listening to Liza Tarbuck post-Farmers Market on a Saturday and waking up to Sounds Of The 70s on a Sunday.

"We don’t miss a moment of music, chat and news, but now we are based here, we begin our day in sync with Zoe instead of starting with Steve!"
