'Can't say anything anymore!' Peter Kay blasts cancel culture amid tour tickets backlash
Peter Kay, 49, has lamented the “backlash” caused by "cancel culture" nowadays when he appeared on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show yesterday.The star’s comments on BBC Radio 2 come as fans continue to take to Twitter today to complain about difficulties with booking tickets for his upcoming tour. Peter and Zoe, 51, were co-presenting her BBC show following the comedian’s exciting announcement that he would be going on tour after 12 years of absence from the stand-up scene. Ever the funnyman, Peter played a game with Zoe which involved listening out for commonly misheard lyrics in songs.One song that the pair played for Radio 2 listeners was You Get What You Give by New Radicals.The lead singer Gregg Alexander can be heard singing the lyric “what’s real can’t die”. However, Peter pointed out that the “can’t die” sounded remarkably similar to the name of Liverpudlian comedian Sir Ken Dodd.“Hang on, it’s coming up now - Ken Dodd,” Peter said in time with the music, as Zoe burst out laughing. “It goes on for ages! He must be a fan of Ken Dodd, he just shouts it out randomly,” Peter joked.“It’s so true! Like the Diddymen,” Zoe said in reference to the mythical race made famous by comedic legend Ken. The Diddymen have existed in Merseyside mythology for years and refer to a miniature race of people.While they started as an unseen joke, the characters eventually went on to appear onstage with the comedian, and were played by either children or adults with dwarfism.“Oh, you can’t say that now,” Peter told Zoe about the reference, “No, it’s not allowed.” “Oh, is it not?” Zoe said in a hushed tone. “No,” Peter reiterated as the song continued to play.“Can’t say anything!” Peter said.

Think you’ve had a refresher,” Peter said in a jokey reference to the famous sweet.“I know, I need a refresher,” Zoe replied, before continuing: “You’ve got orange around you and you’re matching our Radio 2 orange branding. It’s a lovely look…”Scoffing, Peter interrupted again saying: “I’m just wearing a b****y…“Oh, sorry - I swore!” he declared, to which Zoe replied: “Did you?”“I apologise, Britain, for saying that word: b****y,” Peter continued cheekily.“Yes I’m so sorry - wait, you said it again!” Zoe exclaimed in realisation. “I know, but I could’ve said it in the context of blood,” Peter explained.“Yes, you could have done…” Zoe agreed bemusedly. “So there’s my excuse on that one,” Peter continued.
