He's known as the male answer to Cilla Black on ITV's Take Me Out, which sees hunky men and glamorous ladies show off their assets for dates.

'I actually fancy Paddy McGuinness after watching that!' came the first titillated tweet.

'Omg Paddy McGuinness looks pretty hot as Patrick Swayze!' declared another.
