■ PETER KAY,

whose comeback tour sold out within hours, is clearly not hitting the road again for the money.

Accounts for his main company, Hussein Traders Ltd, disclose that it now has almost £23million in investments. The comedian has just sold an estimated £50million of tickets to his new tour, his first in 12 years.

He will perform in front of almost one million people, which includes a 30-day residency at London’s O2 Arena.
