Peter Kay spotted for the first time this year ahead of upcoming stage tour

Comedian Peter Kay has been seen for the first time publicly since last year.

The British star was spotted making a routine trip to a garage to top up his car with air and water.

Dressed down in a pair of blue jeans and a dark jacket, Peter, 46, kept a low profile before disappearing in his swanky silver Mercedes.

Next month, Peter Kay will kick off his Dance for Life stage shows.

The charity dance-a-thons will have a handful of dates up and down the country in a bid to raise as much money for charity as possible.

While little is known about the evenings, Peter is expected to hit the decks himself as DJ PK.

Teasing the upcoming performances, the Bolton-born comic said: “I’ve honestly never had so much fun as I had working on Dance For Life.

“The atmosphere was so happy and positive.

“It really is a great way to raise money for the worthiest of causes.

“All people have to do is turn up and dance.”

Peter announced the news on Twitter with a post that read: “The tweet read: “Peter Kay’s #DanceForLife is back! The charity dance-a-thon announces 2020 dates, including Manchester and London for the very first time. Raising money for Cancer Research UK.”

A follow-up tweet read: “Why not set up Dance For Life JustGiving page to get sponsored for their dance-a-thon, whether in support or memory of friends and family, or simply to help raise money for @cancerresearchuk. Further info and to join Peter’s fundraising team visit.”

Peter’s last stage appearance was when he spoke to an audience, who had come to watch a TV screening of his much-loved BBC show, Car Share in April 2018.

The three screenings of the programme were all held to raise money for The Lily Foundation, which supports children with mitochondrial disease.

The Phoenix Nights star was pictured for the first time in eight months on December 27.

Peter, 46, was all smiles as he posed with X Factor star Chico at the Crewe Lyceum Theatre, as he went to watch the Chico Time singer alongside Canon and Ball for a production of Peter Pan.
