Peter Kay Pledges Final Tour Profits to 12 Cancer Charities, Calls Out Cat Deeley’s On‑Air Habit

The comedian paused mid-interview to highlight the presenter’s repeated affirmations, clarifying that his laughter was about her tic rather than the cancer subject being discussed.

Overview

  • Appearing on ITV’s This Morning, Peter Kay said all profits from the final leg of his Better Late Than Never tour will go to 12 cancer charities.
  • While listing beneficiaries, he stopped after mentioning Bowel Cancer UK to say, “I’m not laughing at bowel cancer, it’s because she keeps saying, ‘yeah’.”
  • Cat Deeley looked flustered as Ben Shephard described the interjections as “active listening,” noting the habit “drives me mad.”
  • An earlier exchange turned playful when Kay told Deeley she had effectively told his Billy Joel anecdote, prompting Shephard to quip, “She always does this.”
  • Kay’s announcement came as he promotes the tour’s final dates, with tickets due to go on sale on November 30 and an extension adding 81 shows across the UK and Ireland through February 2026.
