A woman ejected from Peter Kay's Manchester show for shouting 'we love you, Peter' has called the comedian a 'bully' after he compared her to Lisa Riley. Myar Curran, 25, claims Peter Kay targeted her weight and made her feel humiliated. Kay has since apologized, stating he didn't realize his comment was an insult.
The woman who was kicked out of Peter Kay ’s show in Manchester has spoken out and called the comedian a ‘bully’ after comparing her to Lisa Riley.
“We bought these tickets ages ago so we’ve been waiting years for this,” Myar told the Manchester Evening News. “We were so looking forward to it. I lost my mum a couple of years ago and she was supposed to come to the show so it was something that was going to be very special to us.” “I do feel he was on about my weight,” the mum-of-one said. “I know Lisa Riley has lost a lot of weight and looks great but she used to be a bit bigger. I didn’t used to be this big, I have put a bit of weight on, I’ve had a child.
In a statement this morning, Peter said ‘didn't realise’ what he said ‘was an insult’. He told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “She did look remarkably like Lisa Riley, I didn't realise that was an insult.” “You don’t need to take the mick out of somebody for their weight, it’s just out of order really. He used to be a bigger man. It was like he was being a bully - there was a lot of anger and nastiness to it.”
