Peter Kay took another jibe at Cat Deeley during his interview on This Morning on Thursday as well as calling her out for an annoying interview habit.
The comedian, 52, accused Cat of telling his whole anecdote after the presenter asked: ‘Can we talk about Billy Joel?’
As Peter unenthusiastically replied: ‘If you want,’ Cat then continued: ‘Because weren’t you in Ireland and you went to go and see him and was it your dad who is a big Billy Joel fan?’
Accusing her of stealing the anecdote he asked: ‘Why don’t you just tell it? There’s literally nothing left to tell of that story’.
As Ben agreed: ‘She always does this,’ Cat laughed the incident off as she protested: ‘No I didn’t give away the big bit’.
However it wasn’t the only issue Peter had with the presenter, after he later called her out for her ‘active listening’.
Peter Kay took another jibe at Cat Deeley during his This Morning interview on Thursday as comedian proved once again he isn’t afraid to speak his mind
The comedian, 52, accused Cat of telling his whole anecdote after the presenter asked: ‘Can we talk about Billy Joel ?’
Peter was listing the 12 cancer charities that he will be donating the revenue of his tour to when he flashed Cat a look after she interjected with a ‘Yeah’ each time he spoke.
Beginning to chuckle, he added: ‘I’m not laughing at bowel cancer, it’s because she keeps saying, “yeah”.’
Looking embarrassed, Cat then began to giggle and turned her face away, as Ben stepped in: ‘It’s called active listening, my wife does it and it drives me mad.’
Peter then joked: ‘Well, if you’ve got any issues with that and you want to ring up…?’ before continuing to list the charities.
Show viewers immediately took to X, formerly Twitter, to react to the moment, celebrating a guest had ‘finally called Cat out’ for the behaviour.
One penned: ‘At last someone has done it! Peter Kay calling out Cat Deeley on all her “yep… yeah…aha…um” while someone is trying to talk!’
It is clear that Peter isn’t afraid to say what he thinks, live TV or not, and earlier this year the star hit headlines several times after ordering hecklers out of his shows.
Taking no nonsense at his gig in Manchester last February, Peter kicked out a woman who yelled ‘we love you’ at the star during the show.

The audience member, who later identified herself as Myar Curran, 25, was then chucked out of the arena and compared to Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley.
The comedian shouted back at her: ‘Go on, off you go Lisa Riley.’
While in an interview with Good Morning Britain, Myar said she would never watch him again after he left her feeling ‘humiliated’.
She branded Kay a ‘bully’ and accused him of singling her out because of her weight.
Peter later broke his silence on the incident after as he said: ‘I didn’t realise it was an insult. She did look remarkably like Lisa Riley, I didn’t realise that was an insult.’
Furthermore Lisa herself confirmed there was no bad blood between herself and the comedian as she shared on Instagram: ‘Please draw a line under this now, I am not offended, never was offended. I love Peter Kay to pieces. Laughter is my favourite medicine.’
Peter was clearly already irate after having two hecklers already removed from the show after one man repeatedly shouted out ‘garlic bread’.
One audience member told the Daily Mail at the time that they had walked out early because he was ‘nasty and bitter’ and ‘his performance was poor’.
One person said: ‘It was embarrassing, the guy only shouted garlic bread and the woman just shouted we love you Peter. Waited 20 years to see him and was disappointed.’
Another said: ‘We were sat in front of the guy. He shouted garlic bread about four times, as a professional comedian, he [Kay] should have handled the situation better, the woman only said she loved him! They weren’t heckling or swearing’.
Meanwhile a month later the star once again interrupted his sell out show, this time in London, to call out a group of hecklers.
Peter labelled the rowdy audience members ‘k***heads and cheeky monkeys’ before they were eventually escorted out.
In the clip exclusively obtained by the Daily Mail, the star referenced the Lisa Riley incident jokes – to the audience: ‘Do any of you look like Lisa Riley in this area. No, alright, let’s just throw that out,’ pointing to the section where the box is.
He added:’ You look like Right Said Fred in there. You’ve all had too much. Now then what are we gonna do with you now?’
Then as the man carried on heckling, Peter could be heard saying: ‘Go on, jump! Go on, just jump. See if you bounce,’ to laughs from the audience.
