Peter Kay has been “bundled off stage” during a gig in Birmingham with police evacuating the venue after a “suspicious bag” was found.

The comedian was just 45 minutes into his performance at the Utilita Arena Birmingham, which started at 8pm on Friday, when his show was abruptly cancelled.

A West Midlands Police Statement said: “We are carrying out an evacuation at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham after a potential suspicious bag was found. A 19-year-old man is in custody and as a precaution the site is currently subject of a search.”

Members of Peter Kay’s audience said no explanation or warning was given. A member of the production team reportedly went on stage around 8.45pm to inform the crowd that the show would not be continuing.
