Peter Kay sold out Manchester's vast MEN Arena in under two hours today.

The comic announced an extra date in his Mum Wants A Bungalow there at 10am, and by midday all the tickets had been snapped up.

It is the first time a comedian has played the venue, which holds 3,000 in the theatre-style seating used.

The gig ends his mammoth, sell-out 180-date tour of the UK.

Kay said: "What a way to end the tour, back at the Manchester Arena where I was working when I very first started doing stand-up.

"I worked as a steward there when it very first opened with Torvill and Dean in 1996 and now I'll be ending the tour there, it'll be a crackin' way to end after 180 nights."
