Comedian Peter Kay unexpectedly interrupted a live weather broadcast during BBC North West Tonight on Wednesday evening. While meteorologist Molly Brewer was delivering a report about a yellow weather warning for the following day, Kay appeared on camera, walking in front of the lens before sitting down on the floor beside her.

Kay, known for his role in the television series Phoenix Nights, had recently been a guest on the programme. During the spontaneous interruption, he spoke directly to Brewer, saying, “Go on Molly, I’ll sit here, I’ll not disturb you,” prompting visible amusement from the presenter as she continued with her segment.

The comedian also used the opportunity to advise viewers to “get your central heating on now” in light of the rain forecast over the coming days. Kay is currently concluding a record-breaking arena tour that has spanned four years and is set to finish in November. The lighthearted moment provided a brief but memorable departure from the usual format of the evening news broadcast.
