Peter Kay rages at co-star Paddy McGuinness claiming the ITV star is a ‘pain in the a***’

has opened up about sharing the small screen with star . The 51-year-old comedian claimed that the presenter was a “pain in the a***” over his timekeeping skills, which drove him crazy when they worked together.

Back in 2004, the duo starred in the hit series Max and Paddy’s Road to Nowhere which followed Two Phoenix bouncers’ who escaped from the world of clubbing and hit the road in their prized motor home. It was a huge hit among fans who dubbed it as very entertaining boasting typical English humour.

The actor was brutally honest about their close friendship in his autobiography which noted some hilarious moments in the national treasure’s life. In his book TV: Big Adventures on the Small Screen he said that Paddy, who is the same age, often overslept and held up their tight schedule.

“Paddy slept in all the time… he was a b****r” for being late in the morning,” groaned Peter. He confessed that producers were also left furious after he refused to answer the door when he was called to the location.

“We’d get a message from his driver picking him up: ‘He’s not answering the door.’ Eventually, he’d get to us, and we’d all be sat waiting because we couldn’t film anything without him. We were in every scene together. A right pain in the a***!”

Despite the brutal revelation he did claim that they are very close and look beyond each other’s faults.

Reminiscing about their time-shared filming the programme Peter also acknowledged that their time on-set was filled with huge amounts of “laughter”.

The show attracted over four million viewers, but sadly the six-part series was never revived, despite its loyal fan base.

However, Peter faced a huge problem when he set as the actor was tasked to drive the huge motorhome vehicle.

He describes it as being a “huge beast” and he found it hard to park which cost the production company.

He shared: “I was forever hitting walls and clipping other vehicles as we drove past, leaving the art department with their heads in their hands. They spent a lot of time leaving notes under people’s windscreen wipers with our insurance details or knocking on residents’ doors, apologising and advising that someone would be calling round to fix their wall or fence.”

Since then, he has gone on to star in countless TV programmes including the hit show Car Share.

He finally kicked off his latest tour last year and to stages around the UK for months at a time.

Peter started a residency tour in 2022, which has seen him appear at the same British arenas around the country every month, this .
