Peter Kay appeared on The One Show to announce that he will be adding more tour dates next year, with all proceeds going to charity.

The 52-year-old comedian from Bolton launched his "Better Late Than Never" tour in 2022, and due to high demand, he has continually extended the run with additional performances.

He has now confirmed additional shows for 2026. The tour has seen Peter Kay break attendance and performance records at the AO Arena.

He became the first performer worldwide to hold a monthly residency at The O2 in London, with 45 performances - more than any other artist in the venue's history.

The comedian has also released his latest book, Diary: The Monthly Memoir of a Boy from Bolton, which was published this October.
