Take Me Out's much-loved presenter and comedian Paddy McGuinness has announced a new UK tour for 2015 and 2016.

Starting in September, the host of ITV’s dating game show Take Me Out will be hitting the road with Daddy McGuinness which includes a gig at Hammersmith's Eventim Apollo on February 27 next year.

After numerous sell out tours and best-selling DVDs, Paddy’s long awaited return to stand-up will see him perform 50 dates across the UK.

This will be his first comedy tour since 2011.

Paddy, who is raring to get back to where he belongs – on stage, making people laugh, said: “I’m really looking forward to being back on tour – I’ve missed it.

"I’ve got a great new show planned – Daddy McGuinness. Amongst many other things, I’ll be sharing several stories about becoming a first time dad and parenthood.

"Roll on September.”
