LET the comedian see the brush!

Bolton funnyman Paddy McGuinness was made to regret a spur of the moment Tweet posted during Wanderers' Boxing Day derby with Blackburn.

He posted: "If @EmileHeskeyUK comes off the bench today and scores for us I'll personally clean his boots! C'mon Bolton!!!"

The England striker promptly did just that, netting in the 59th minute to equalise before Bolton went on to win 2-1.

Take Me Out host Paddy pitched up at the Whites' last training session before the cup clash with Wigan to prove he is a man of his word.

Given a drinks bucket and a brush, Paddy scrubbed Heskey's boots as the forward and manager Neil Lennon watched on with a smile.

Whites fan Paddy, who watched his first matches from the Burnden Park terraces in the 1980s, said: "It was one of those moments, as soon as I pressed send I thought 'have I made a mistake there?'.

"I thought, surely it won't happen and when it did, I was in my car, and my phone was going, with all my mates having a go at me."

The boots cleaned by Paddy will be the ones worn by Heskey against Wigan.

Paddy said: "He was very impressed, although he reckons when he was a youth player he would have done a better job but I won't argue the point."

The comedian, who shot to stardom alongside fellow Boltonian Peter Kay, feels Wanderers are on the up.

He said: "Really impressed with how it's going, it does feel like a cloud has been lifted, "You forget how important the football club is to a town like ours.

"Everybody's has a bit more of a spring in their step at the moment, at least until they're back at work on Monday.

"What a game that will be, against Wigan, and it would be fantastic if we could beat them."

Heskey, aged 36, had been without a club since leaving Australian side Newcastle Jets in the summer.

On his meeting with Paddy, he said: "He did a good job. All the mud was gone.

"They're my only pair, so I'll definitely be wearing them tomorrow.

"Hopefully I can score again then, why not?".

In another hasty Tweet posted on Boxing Day, Paddy said: "If we win it's also a massage for the gaffa courtesy of these fair hands. @OfficialBWFC now there's a match bonus."

Paddy added: "I think he had forgotten about that. I hope so because I have never massaged a ginger man in my life!".

Manager Lennon said: "He owes me a massage as well but he’s not getting his hands on me.

"At least he is sticking to his word. He can’t back down.

"I think he’s got about four pairs of boots so Paddy may be here a while."
