‘Peter Kay’s Car Share’ star Sian Gibson has revealed she doesn’t think the show will make a comeback
The 47-year-old starred as supermarket worker Kayleigh Kitson for the comedy series' three-year run on BBC One from 2018, and despite it being a ratings hit, she has now said she doubts it will return as 50-year-old Peter, who played store manager John Redmond, is back on a stand-up tour.
She told OK! magazine when asked if ‘Car Share’ could return: “I don’t think so. I mean, Peter's doing a record-breaking UK tour [so] is very busy for the next couple of years. He's doing his amazing stand-up.”
Last year, an industry insider revealed that a ‘Car Share’ comeback would likely never see the light of day as documents showed Peter was winding down the company behind the show.
A source told The Sun newspaper about the filing: “This seems to be the final nail in the coffin of ‘Car Share’ – and is sure to leave fans devastated.
“Of course there is always the chance Peter intends to manage finances for the show through another of his companies, but that seems unlikely when he had such a dedicated set-up in the first place.”
Peter previously gave fans hope a ‘Car Share’ return was not out of the question after he admitted he was open to the idea of making a one-off Christmas special.
When quizzed on whether he would consider making a festive episode of ‘Car Share’, the comedian said he “might do”.
He added: “Of all the things I’ve ever done, that’s my favourite of all. I love being with Sian and we had a good laugh.”
Although a ‘Car Share’ revival may now be off the table, Peter revealed his other sitcom ‘Max and Paddy’s Road to Nowhere’ - in which he starred alongside Paddy McGuinness in 2004 – could make a comeback, as the pair had written two festive one-offs.
During a Q and A for one of his gigs at the Manchester’s O2 Apollo, he told the crowd: “I loved making 'Max And Paddy', it was one of the best times we ever had filming and we had such a good laugh.
“We actually wrote two Christmas specials and then we never made them so you never know.”
