The global sensation that is High School Musical was greeted by hundreds of screaming teenagers at the UK premiere on Tuesday night.

The third instalment of the American movie was unveiled at the Empire cinema in London's Leicester Square, and fans braved the elements to see their heroes in the flesh.

Zac Efron, 20, who plays school basketball captain Troy Bolton, got the biggest cheers of the night.

He was joined on the red carpet by female co-star Vanessa Hudgens.

Miss Hudgens, 19, hit the headlines for the wrong reasons last year when nude pictures of her were published on the internet.

High School Musical 3 opens in UK cinemas on October 22, and advance ticket sales have topped £500,000.
