Speaking of the event, Kay said:
“I’ve honestly never had so much fun as I had working on Dance for Life. The atmosphere was so happy and positive; it really is a great way to raise money for the worthiest of causes.
“All people have to do is turn up and dance. I’d also like to encourage people to get themselves sponsored via justgiving.com where a special Dance For Life team page has been set up”.

Peter Kay left the public eye back in 2018, last seen on Peter Kay’s Comedy Shuffle which ran for three series between 2016 and 2018. Kay was also set to perform in a live tour, which was suddenly cancelled back in 2017 due to ‘unforeseen family circumstances’.
Tickets for Dance For Life go on sale Friday 28 February with all profits donated to Cancer Research UK, and you can also get involved with the fundraising via the show’s JustGiving page here.
