COMEDIAN Paddy McGuinness will take to the road with a new stand-up tour.

The Take Me Out host, who lives in Bolton, appeared on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw this morning to announce the 50 date tour.

Daddy McGuinness Live will tour the country later this year, with show details being announced in the coming days on the father-of-two's Twitter page.

He said: "I'm doing 50 dates towards the end of the year and then I will carry on doing some more dates in the New Year.

"I cannot wait."

The 41-year-old, who has his own radio show on Key 103, had listeners chuckling throughout his appearance, poking fun at fellow Bolton presenter Vernon Kay who lives down south and speaking of the popularity of his ITV dating show.

Daddy McGuinness Live will be staged in theatres following Paddy’s last tour, in arenas two years ago.
