Keith Lemon and Paddy McGuinness take on David Tennant and Olivia Colman to recreate Broadchurch
The gritty crime drama is returning to TV in February - and the funnymen are getting into the spirit of it
KEITH Lemon and Paddy McGuiness gave us a brand new glimpse into the new series of Broadchurch - kind of!
The cheeky pair made the most of their time on the beach and used the opportunity to send up the popular drama series, which is returning to our screens in a few weeks time.
Dad-of-three Paddy donned a floppy wig, suit and sad expression to pretend to be David Tennant's character Alec Hardy in the photo Keith later uploaded to Instagram
Meanwhile, Keith gave an interpretation of Olivia Colman's character Ellie Miller that was a little less flattering than Paddy's was - and donned a cheap curly wig and piercing stare while still keeping his signature moustache and sideburns.
The highly secretive show teased audiences with its return for a third and final series on New Year's Day this year.
ITV revealed the news on Twitter alongside an ominous video of those familiar cliffs, which fades from dark to day.
