BOLTON funnyman Paddy McGuinness is back on television tonight with his hit show Take Me Out.

The brash dating programme — and indeed Paddy himself — are not to everyone’s taste.

Dare I say it? Some people don’t even think Paddy is funny — I'm not one of those people, I should add.

But what Paddy has done — since he first rose to fame as bouncer Paddy in Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights — is take full advantage of every opportunity he has been given.

He has grabbed his chance with both hands because he knows his run could end at any moment. Good luck to him.
