The ad begins from the perspective of a couple of unseen fans in a car saying "Is that Peter Kay's mum's bungalow? " as the comedian is seen carrying the gold toilet into a bungalow. As he walks, the fan asks about the garage complete with a Freddie Mercury mural which Peter says is his mum's favourite.
The man shouts to the comic to ask if he's doing more tour dates, to which Peter replies: "Hey, I've no choice! She wants it all now" before asking if he's carrying a gold toilet. Peter quips: "Oh aye, you want to see her bidet," reports the Manchester Evening News.
