Peter Kay has released a statement after ejecting three people from a recent stand up show in Manchester.It came after a man and his son were reportedly removed from the gig at the AO Arena over the weekend after the former repeatedly shouted Kay’s catchphrase “garlic bread”.As security escorted the man out, a woman was said to have shouted, “We love you, Peter” which saw the comedian ask security to remove her too.As she made her way through the aisles, Kay reportedly said: “Have a drink, have we?

Go on, off you go Lisa Riley.”Lisa Riley is an actress who has spoken openly about her problems with alcohol in the past but in a statement via Good Morning Britain, Kay defended his comment and said it was in reference to her appearance: “I didn’t realise it was an insult.

She did look remarkably like Lisa Riley, I didn’t realise that was an insult.”Riley has since dismissed the remark, and wrote on her Instagram Story: “Please draw a line under this now, I am not offended, never was offended.

I love Peter Kay to pieces. Laughter is my favourite medicine.”Referring to the ejections, Kay continued in his statement: “There comes a point when dealing with repeated hecklers simply isn’t enough.
