Have YOU got a story? Email [email protected] Riley has revealed how she really feels about a cheeky jibe from Peter Kay at his show in Manchester over the weekend.
She wrote on her 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.' It comes as Peter has broken his silence after kicking three hecklers out of the gig and claimed they were spoiling the show for the rest of the audience.
They reported that the rest of his statement read: 'There comes a point when dealing with repeated hecklers simply isn't enough. It's not something you ever want to do but it becomes a point when it's no longer fair to everyone around.' A woman who yelled 'we love you Peter' was ordered to be removed by Peter, who was accused of making a cruel joke about the woman's weight comparing her to Lisa Riley, witnesses claimed
'I am glad Peter took a stand and removed them as the show was being spoiled for a lot of people... And if people were so offended at the hecklers being chucked out, why did the crowd near them cheer loudly when they were removed?' As the men were escorted out of the arena, the woman sitting behind them shouted 'we love you Peter' to which he asked, 'had a drink have we?'
'Shouting repeatedly garlic bread was not banter but disruptive in not a funny way. Bravo to Peter Kay, they spent a lot of money on those tickets and had waited two years.' Peter was pictured looking slimmer while heading to his tour bus while leaving London's O2 arena in January. His performance in Manchester on Saturday night has sparked a row with some leaving early'A lot of the humour was very crude and lewd - I didn't expect to hear about his penis as much as we did, didn't expect to hear about erections. This is a family show, there are young teenagers there up to people in their 70s and it didn't feel like a lot of people expected.
'The guy then shouted garlic bread and Peter said 'Nick, Nick, put the lights on'. Then the arena lit up and they instructed security to go get rid of him. 'It was just really mean to that woman. It was totally uncalled for calling that woman Lisa Reilly and getting her removed from the show. It just makes no sense to me.
James Featherstone, from Harrogate, Yorkshire, had travelled to see the show with his wife and daughter.

Mr Featherstone also said it was 'hypocritical' for Mr Kay to call the woman Lisa Riley and said the jibe 'wasn't even funny'.
