Peter Kay has broken his social media silence to denounce a Channel 5 documentary about his comedy career.
Seemingly at the comedian’s request, Kay’s official social media page wrote: “Very flattering of Channel 5 to commission the programme going out tonight, but just to let people know that Peter Kay: In His Own Words has an incredibly misleading title, as it doesn’t feature any new interviews with Peter and all the footage is completely historic.”
The comedian took exception to the title of the show – Peter Kay: In His Own Words – because he believes it suggests he was involved in making it.
Debbie Isitt, the show’s director, wrote: “So lovely to see brilliant comic genius Peter Kay and his lovely family @nativityuk tonight for our final show!
