Comedian Kay reflects on his kidney 'agony'

BOLTON FUNNYMAN'S SENSE OF HUMOUR PUSHED TO THE LIMIT AFTER SURGERY FORCED HIM TO CANCEL SHOWS

- By DANIEL WINDHAM

PETER Kay has opened up about the terrifying moment he discovered he needed emergency surgery after being struck down by agonising kidney stones -- an ordeal he described as feeling like his “world collapsed”.

The beloved Bolton-born comedian, 52, detailed the painful episode during a train journey from London to Wigan, explaining that what began as a stomach ache quickly spiralled into one of the worst experiences of his life.

The Max and Paddy star said his symptoms began on Friday, and by Sunday his lower right back was “throbbing” prompting him to seek medical assistance.
