Emmerdale's Lisa Riley reveals how she really feels about THAT Peter Kay jibe - as the comedian breaks his silence on kicking out hecklers

Lisa Riley has revealed how she really feels about a cheeky jibe from Peter Kay at his show in Manchester over the weekend. Peter, who is currently on his £27million Better Late Than Never Again! Tour, had to ask security to drag away a man repeatedly shouting, 'garlic bread' on Saturday night. Then afterwards a woman who yelled 'we love you Peter' was ordered to be removed by the comedian, who was then accused of making a cruel joke about the woman's weight comparing her to Lisa, witnesses claimed.

But Lisa addressed the incident on her Instagram on Tuesday morning saying she wasn't offended by what happened. She wrote on her Story: 'Please draw a line under this now, I am not offended, never was offended. I love Peter Kay to pieces. Laughter is my favourite medicine.'. The soap star also shared a picture of the quote 'keep calm and laugh' and wrote in the caption: 'It's a laugh, it's funny!'.

It comes as Peter has broken his silence after kicking three hecklers out of the gig and claimed they were spoiling the show for the rest of the audience. The comedian, 51, said there becomes a point where it's 'no longer fair' to the crowd who have paid to see him and also defended calling one woman Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley before evicting her from the arena, reports GMB.

In a statement given to the ITV show, he said: 'I didn't realise it was an insult. She did look remarkably like Lisa Riley, I didn't realise that was an insult.'. The hosts revealed that Peter had told them overnight 'he felt he had no option but to remove the hecklers and said they were spoiling the show.'. They reported that the rest of his statement read: 'There comes a point when dealing with repeated hecklers simply isn't enough. It's not something you ever want to do but it becomes a point when it's no longer fair to everyone around.'.

Fans have backed the comic's decision to throw hecklers out of his homecoming gig on Saturday night, claiming the drunk troublemakers had been 'spoiling the show'. Another audience member, sitting just a few seats away from the mischief-makers, has claimed that both 'absolutely deserved' to be removed - so much so it was met with loud cheers from those sitting around him. 'The guy he chucked out absolutely deserved it,' Jo Llewellyn told MailOnline. 'He was extremely drunk even before the show started and continued to make a nuisance of himself as the show went on.

The soap star also shared a picture of the quote 'keep calm and laugh' and wrote in the caption: 'It's a laugh, it's funny!'. Peter, who is currently on his £27million Better Late Than Never Again! Tour, also had to ask security to drag away a man repeatedly shouting, 'garlic bread' on Saturday night.

'For those of us who sat beside him he ruined the gig. And as for the lady, she was a few seats behind and the people she sat next to also commented that she had been a huge pain and was disrupting the show for others. 'I am glad Peter took a stand and removed them as the show was being spoiled for a lot of people... And if people were so offended at the hecklers being chucked out, why did the crowd near them cheer loudly when they were removed?'.

Some audience members had decided to leave the show at Manchester AO arena on Saturday night after Mr Kay ordered security to turn on all the lights when his bit about kidney stones was interrupted for the third time by the man shouting. Once the bright lights were on, Mr Kay is said to have pulled up a chair on stage and directed his security to remove the man as well as his friends, another source told MailOnline.

At this point the heckling man, along with his son, allegedly got very abusive towards the security guards', according to witnesses. The man was then taken out by four security guards - 'one on each leg and one on each arm'. 'It wasn't a case of escorting him out, it was a case of physically removing him,' one audience member said. As the men were escorted out of the arena, the woman sitting behind them shouted 'we love you Peter' to which he asked, 'had a drink have we?'.

The 52-year-old funnyman then instructed the security team to also remove the woman from the crowd before telling her 'go on, off you go Lisa Riley', in reference to the Emmerdale actress and comedian. And while some accused Mr Kay of a 'nasty and bitter' approach to hecklers, those sitting closest to the noisy crowd applauded the decision. Another audience member said: 'I was seated near the people, and they were a pain in the backside.
