Robbie Williams, Michelle Keegan and Ant & Dec are the latest famous faces to join Keith Lemon and Paddy McGuinness for their new series, The Keith and Paddy Picture Show.

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Ghostbusters have been confirmed as the final two films to be 'recreated' by Keith and Paddy for the brand-new five part ITV series, as the duo pay homage to their favourite moves of all time.

Ghostbusters sees singer Robbie as Egon, presenter Emma Willis as Janine, actress Sarah Parish as Dana and former footballer turned presenter Chris Kamara as Ray Parker Jnr. Other guest stars include Will Mellor, Gary Wilmot, Vicki Michelle, Emily Atack and Bob Carolgees.

Return of the Jedi will see actress Michelle Keegan playing Princess Leia, comedy duo Ant and Dec as Ewoks, This Morning host Phillip Schofield as Yoda, David Dickinson as The Emperor and Jeremy Kyle will appear as himself.

Robbie commented: "I had such a laugh with Keith and Paddy filming Ghostbusters and I'm thrilled to be playing Egon... I ain’t afraid of no ghosts!"

Michelle said: "I'm excited to be part of this new show with Keith and Paddy and thrilled to be taking on the iconic role of Princess Leia, a strong, female heroine and all round Star Wars legend. I had so much fun and we had such a laugh filming that I can't wait for everyone to see the final result."

Other iconic films getting the Keith and Paddy treatment will be Dirty Dancing, Jaws and Rocky. Each episode of The Keith and Paddy Picture Show will be a mix of film parodies and behind-the-scenes mock-doc footage.

The Keith and Paddy Picture Show is due to air on ITV in April.
