The Muppets premiered their new film in London last night, with the likes of Olly Murs, TOWE's Joey Essex and Peaches Geldof turning out to meet Kermit and Miss Piggy.

Former Big Brother contestant Georgie Salpa also showed up to give Kermit a kiss and wild X Factor contestant Kitty Brucknell reminded us that she's still on the celebrity circuit.

Speaking at the premiere, Kermit, who's returning to the cinema after 13 years, said: "To have the chance to be in the spotlight again is quite something."

And Miss Piggy proved she's still living up to her diva reputation, adding: "I wouldn't come to set for about five hours after I was called."

Their new film, The Muppets, is about a fan who sets out to reunite them when their old theatre faces demolition. They are joined by Jason Segel, who plays Gary, a super-fan of the Muppets determined to raise £6m to save their derelict theatre, and Gary's bemused girlfriend Mary, played by Amy Adams.
