The Sun reports that comedian Peter Kay is to appear in and direct a new Texas video to be released next year. He is apparently set to appear alongside frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri in scenes recreating famous screen moments, with Kay reportedly donning a white uniform to play the Richard Gere Character in a spoof of 'An Officer And A Gentleman'.
Spiteri says: "I have had a giant cheesy grin for weeks knowing Peter will do the video. We have been putting it together and he keeps phoning to tell me his mental ideas. He is such a talent. He said he wanted to do our video and we jumped at the chance. I can't tell you all the gags because Peter will kill me but I can tell you there will be lots of snow."
She also revealed how the pair first met at the Edinburgh leg of Live 8, and how she was shocked to discover he was a fan "I told him I loved what he did and he came back and went through my entire career, which stunned me."
