Not happening: Matt Lucas insisted on Friday night on The One Show that his new show with David Walliams is not a reboot of Little Britain after rumours swirled
Matt, who appeared on the show alongside Fantasy Football League co-host Ellis James and singer Rita Ora, said of the rumours: ‘It’s not true! Me and David Walliams are working together on a new thing, but it’s not Little Britain.
'It's a brand new thing. If anything it’s more of a spiritual successor to Come Fly With Me, it's going to be all new characters.
'But we have literally just begun the process, we are still brainstorming. We know what the concept is but we are now creating the characters.'
