The funnyman features on all 20 tracks of Ready, Steady, Go which is being released next month.

He has previously made the charts after putting together occasional light-hearted releases including a Comic Relief single and as spoof singer Geraldine McQueen.

Kay voices the character of mechanic Big Chris in the Channel 5 and Nick Jr show. He also sings as American saloon car Tin Top on the album, which comes out on March 14.

Co-creator of Roary, Keith Chapman, said: “Peter Kay has a brilliant singing voice and the music in the series really captivates children. They will have a lot of fun joining in.”

Kay’s voice also features in the new stage show adaptation of Roary which is touring 90 venues around the UK.
