ITV has ordered a second series of The Keith & Paddy Picture Show.

Leigh Francis - as Keith Lemon - and Paddy McGuinness star in the series, which sees the pair spoofing and recreating iconic films.

Producers explain: "Each week, Keith and Paddy attempt to recreate an iconic film, with the help of an all-star celebrity cast. The half hour episodes are a mix of high-end film parodies and behind-the-scenes mock-doc footage following the boys as they endeavour to bring their recreations to life."

Series 1, broadcast in May and June 2017, saw the duo tackle Dirty Dancing, Ghostbusters, Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi, Jaws and Rocky.

The new second series, produced by Talkback, will run to six episodes and see the pair take on Top Gun, Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, Grease, Pretty Woman and Gremlins.

It is expected to be broadcast on Saturday nights later in the Spring.

Keith Lemon says: "So excited to be back doing The Keith & Paddy Picture Show! So much fun working with ya mate in real life, living the dream playing roles in classic films we love. The catering is amazing too!"

Paddy McGuinness continues: "I can't wait to start on the second series with Keith. The films we're recreating this time round are some of the most iconic in cinema history. I'm mega excited to be playing dress up again with my mate. Let the fun and games begin!"

Leon Wilson, executive producer adds: "We're delighted to be returning for a second series for more movie mayhem. Last series saw stars such as Robbie Williams, Phillip Schofield, Sarah Parish, Anna Friel and Stephen Tompkinson taking on iconic film roles, and we have more soon-to-be-announced exciting guests joining us for this series. Saturday night is definitely movie night!"
