TV comic Peter Kay has become an unlikely fitness hero - smashing the record for the fastest-selling exercise DVD with his creations Max and Paddy.

The Power Of Two hit the top of the fitness DVD charts following its release on Boxing Day.

Max and Paddy, the hapless bouncers from Phoenix Nights and Max & Paddy's Road To Nowhere, poke fun at celebrity fitness videos but also offer help to overweight men.

An unprecedented 23,000 copies flew off the shelves in its first week of sale.
