With Muppets Most Wanted , everyone's favourite inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational gang are back and bigger than ever.

Riding high on the deserved success of their 2012 revamp, Jim Henson's fuzziest and funniest creations have enrolled some of Hollywood's finest to join their madcap caper around Europe.

We caught up with Miss Piggy, Kermit, Ricky Gervais, producer Todd Lieberman and production designer Eve Stewart on-set of the new movie to get the lowdown on filming in the UK, celebrity cameos, Bret McKenzie's brand new musical numbers, and - most importantly - who's the biggest human or muppet diva on-set.
