He wrote on social media: "My apologies once again but unfortunately the Co-op Live still isn’t ready and so, as yet, remains untested for a large-scale audience.

"Consequently, they are having to reschedule my two shows yet again (I know I can’t believe it either)."

Peter added: "It's very disappointing but your safety is important and I won't compromise that."

For those supposed to be attending Monday, April 29 can see the show on May 23.

The "gutted" comedian, 50, issued a statement earlier this week explaining that after testing, the venue decided to postpone his two shows.

At the time, he said: “I’m truly gutted as I know how disappointing this will be for everyone with tickets, but obviously it’s a brand-new venue and it’s important that everything is finished and safe for full capacity audiences."
