Peter Kay is reportedly set to release a new autobiography after stepping out of the spotlight in recent years. 

According to Sky News, the Bolton funnyman has said he is inspired to put pen to paper after producing the audio version of ‘The Sound of Laughter’.

From a recording at his home, Kay reportedly said: “Within the first few chapters of recording, I was inspired to start to write a third book.

“I had the idea about 10 years ago. All about working in TV. From when I started doing bit parts in Coronation Street right up to Car Share.

“It’s been a real joy recalling the memories. There’s over 20 years of stories about filming series like Phoenix Nights and Max and Paddy’s Road To Nowhere.”

The comedian’s first autobiography currently holds the record for the biggest selling British hardback autobiography of all time, having sold more than two million copies worldwide.

His second autobiography ‘Saturday Night Peter,’ released in 2009, was also a bestseller.

When opening up about his career plans, Kay also brought up his favourite memories.

He continued: “Appearing on chat shows like Parkinson, at the Queen’s Golden Jubilee and sharing letters from Ronnie Barker. We wrote to each other for years as pen pals until he passed away.

“I’m very proud of it. I’ll no doubt be recording that book too before you know it. I just hope people enjoy it as much as this first one.”

Earlier this year, Kay returned to stand-up comedy. He held two fundraiser event for 20-year-old Laura Nuttall, who has an aggressive form of brain cancer.
