PADDY McGuinness has sparked rumours of a Phoenix Nights reboot after reuniting with one of the stars from the show.

And a third added: "Please bring Phoenix Nights back!"

The show was focused around the members of working men's club The Phoenix Club in greater Manchester.

Comedian Peter Kay starred as main character Brian Potter and he previously revealed plans for a movie.

He said: "That’s not happening, let me tell you. Not that I know of . . . I’m probably not in it.”
