A lighthearted moment unfolded on theThis Morningset when comedian Peter Kay playfully called out Cat Deeley on a common habit. Kay was discussing his upcoming tour dates, an extension of his hugely successful “Better Late Than Never” comeback, when he noticed Deeley’s consistent response to his every word.
As Kay began listing the charities that would benefit from the tour’s profits – a remarkable initiative donating all proceeds to twelve different organizations – Deeley instinctively responded with a simple “yes” after each name he read. The repeated affirmation sparked a chuckle from Kay, momentarily halting the conversation.
“I’m not laughing at bowel cancer,” Kay quickly clarified, “it’s because she keeps saying, ‘yeah!’” Deeley blushed, a wave of embarrassment washing over her as she realized her unintentional pattern.
Her co-host, Ben Shephard, immediately jumped in with a relatable observation. “It’s called active listening,” he explained with a knowing smile. “My wife does it, and it drives me mad!” Kay then playfully addressed the viewers, hinting at potential complaints about the habit.
Kay had initially announced these additional shows onThe One Show, emphasizing the deeply personal connection he felt to the cause. He acknowledged the widespread impact of cancer, stating, “Unfortunately, everybody knows someone who’s been affected on that list.”
He passionately urged people to attend the shows, framing it as an opportunity to support vital charities, even for those who weren’t necessarily fans of his comedy. “You don’t even have to like me to come,” he insisted. “This is about supporting these charities.”
With a characteristic touch of humor, Kay even offered a playful guarantee: “If it’s not funny, you get your money back… you don’t.” He cleverly positioned the tickets as a meaningful Christmas gift, encouraging viewers to consider supporting the cause during the holiday season.
The charities benefiting from the tour include Children with Cancer UK, Teenage Cancer Trust, Kidney Cancer UK, Blood Cancer UK, Bowel Cancer UK, Prostate Cancer UK, DKMS, Ovarian Cancer Action, Pancreatic Cancer UK, Anthony Nolan, The Brain Tumour Charity, and Breast Cancer UK – a comprehensive list reflecting Kay’s commitment to a wide range of cancer support organizations.
