It comes after Peter’s set to make a TV comeback as he breaks his acting hiatus for a special Christmas role.
The much-loved comic, who recently stepped back into the spotlight after an extended break, is set to feature in the new Wallace and Gromit film Vengeance Most Fowl, where he’ll take on the role of Chief Inspector Macintosh.
Wallace and Gromit fans were left delighted as the BBC dropped the first look at the highly anticipated Christmas Special on Wednesday afternoon.
The beloved cartoon duo are returning to screens for the first time in 16 years over the festive period and an iconic evil character is set to make an appearance.
Peter’s role in the film comes after he devastated fans back in 2017 when he announced that he would be cancelling his long-awaited comeback tour due to ‘unforeseen family circumstances.’
The beloved Bolton-born comedian noticeably retreated from the spotlight for five years following the cancellation.
At the time speculation was rife among fans about the reason for his absence, with Peter’s social media also plunged into silence until March 2018, when he return to announce a charity screening of Peter Kay’s Car Share.
Peter then completely disappeared from public life for a year, and reportedly relocated to Tipperary, Ireland, where locals claimed he seemed determined to fly under the radar.
In April 2019, Peter resurfaced for the first time in many months, making a surprise appearance at a screening of Car Share at Blackpool Opera House, which raised £34,000 for The Lily Foundation.

The funnyman did make a short return to TV in April 2020 for BBC’s Big Night In Special, as part of a reworked version of his iconic music video for (Is This The Way To) Amarillo.
He then went onto perform two sold-out Dance For Life shows to raise money for Laura Nuttall, 21, who had an aggressive type of brain cancer called glioblastoma multiforme. She sadly died in May 2023.
In November 2022, Peter then delighted the nation by announcing he would be returning to touring for the first time in 12 years, including a monthly residency at London’s O2 Arena.
And after stepping back into the public eye, Peter is set to delight fans once again as he takes on a role in the festive Wallace and Gromit film.
