Peter Kay’s gig ended abruptly after a bomb scare, with the comedian and audience rushed to safety in Birmingham.

The 52-year-old comic was ushered off stage mid-performance and the audience evacuated due to a ‘potential suspicious bag’ being found.

Eyewitnesses said that two members of staff suddenly came onto the stage around 45 minutes into the show at the Utilita Arena yesterday evening.

They then whispered into Kay’s ear and escorted him away.
