This includes hits from brands including Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Pictures, SHOWTIME and the Smithsonian Channel.

Yellowstone, Yellowjackets, HALO, Tulsa King and Top Gun: Maverick are among the shows and movies available.

Sadly it doesn't come free - to access the shows and movies from Paramount you'll need to pay for it.

At present, the subscription costs £6.99 per month.

"Offering our customers access to the latest and greatest programmes in one easy, convenient place has long been a focus for us," said David Bouchier, Chief TV and Entertainment Officer at Virgin Media O2.

"Whether it’s drama, sport or documentaries, Virgin TV provides something for everyone, and the addition of Paramount+’s huge catalogue of award-winning shows and iconic movies means entertainment just got even better for Virgin TV customers."

Sadly, if you have an older Virgin TV box you're out of luck when it comes to Paramount+ but you can access most other apps.
