Peter Kay struck up a friendship with Laura Nuttall, who wanted to meet him as part of her bucket list after being struck down with terminal brain cancer 💔
When Peter Kay stepped back from the limelight amid a suddenly cancelled tour, it was hard to know if or when he would ever return to stage. As it transpired, a comeback which led to ticket sales surpassing all previous records was inspired by, and done for, a brave Lancashire woman who was living with terminal brain cancer.
The Pendle woman dropped out of university in London and underwent an operation to remove the largest of eight tumours. Numerous cycles of chemotherapy and further treatment followed before her family discovered an innovative new treatment was available abroad. After those shows Nicola told LancsLive that the entire experience had been somewhat "surreal". She said: "We were lucky enough to go to both shows and it was amazing, it was fantastic. Peter is just so funny, he makes you laugh until your face aches, he's a real gentleman too, he's very generous with his time.
Laura’s father, Mark, added: “Nicola, Gracie and myself are so very proud of her and what she achieved in her short life. Her flame burned so brightly, unfortunately not nearly for long enough. She leaves a chasm behind and we now have to find some way of filling that void. But we will and and we’ll continue to support the charities and beliefs which were very important and dear to Laura."
