Comedian Peter Kay has gatecrashed a BBC weather report live on air.<\/p>\n

Kay, 53, appeared on screen while BBC North West Tonight’s Molly Brewer was presenting her report on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Brewer was telling viewers there was a yellow weather warning in force for the following day when Kay walked in front of the camera.<\/p>\n

\n

The Phoenix Nights star, who had been a guest on the programme, then took a seat on the floor and said: “Go on, Molly. I’ll sit here; I’ll not disturb you.”<\/p>\n

Brewer tried to contain her laughter as she carried on with her report.<\/p>\n

She also gave Kay her clicker and he changed the graphics on the screen before the end of the report.<\/p>\n

With rain forecast for the coming days, the comedian advised viewers to “get your central heating on now”.<\/p>\n

It is not the first time Kay has interrupted a weather report.<\/p>\n

He crawled on screen while the late Dianne Oxberry was presenting the forecast for BBC North West Tonight in 2011.<\/p>\n

Oxberry joked at the time she would “come to one of your concerts and come on stage and just creep in alongside you”.<\/p>\n

Kay has spent the last four years on a record-breaking arena tour, which is due to end in November at Blackpool’s Opera House.<\/p>\n

All the proceeds from his 2026 shows will be donated to 12 cancer charities.<\/p>\n

The Bolton-born comedian kicked off his tour in December 2022 in Manchester, marking the end of a 12-year break from touring and setting the record for the only comedian in the world to have performed a monthly residency at London’s O2 Arena.<\/p>\n
