PADDY McGuinness' new Saturday night entertainment programme proved to be a smash hit.

The Keith and Paddy Picture Show kicked off on ITV on Saturday night and brought in more than 4.5million viewers.

Paddy stars alongside fellow comedian Keith Lemon as the pair put their own twist on movie classics.

The first week saw them have a go at Dirty Dancing, including the famous lift, and also starred Larry Lamb, John Barrowman, Jessica Hynes and Kimberly Wyatt.

Paddy played Johnny while Keith took on the role of Baby. 

And fans were clearly impressed with the show, with many taking to social media, saying the programme was 'hilarious', 'brilliant' and that it had them in 'stitches' and it even trended on Twitter as fans talked about the show.

Taking to social media, Paddy said: "That's your lot for tonight, hope you enjoyed our show! Next Week it's Ghostbusters!"

The series will see Paddy and Keith take on a different film each week with the likes of Star Wars and Rocky to come.

Each week will feature a variety of special guests with Robbie Williams and Ant and Dec set to appear.
