Myar Curran, 25, was left crying in her hotel room after the gag, when Peter Kay compared her to Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley. Peter Kay said he 'didn't realise' it was an insult.
A Hamilton mum who was kicked out of a Peter Kay gig in Manchester has branded the comic a "bully" after he compared her to Lisa Riley.
Myar had travelled to England with her dad, auntie, best friend and boyfriend and is a long-term fan of the Bolton born comedian and had been excited to seem him live. Myar had been sitting at a similar part of the venue as another heckler who was kicked out after shouting 'garlic bread' on a number of occasions, but she claims she had nothing to do with him.
“I’m self-conscious about that so to go to a show and feel like you’re having the mick taken out of you because of your weight, I was just a bit shocked. I’m annoyed and upset about it. The whole arena was laughing, I think they thought it was part of the show but there was a nastiness to his voice. It was like he was trying to get the crowd against me - it just wasn’t nice, to be honest.
Lisa Riley herself has also commented on the situation, writing on Instagram: "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."
