David Walliams and Matt Lucas are to work together again.
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge has rekindled his friendship with his former comedy partner and now they are reportedly set to reteam for the first time in eight years to revive one of their shows, with airline sketch show ‘Come Fly With Me’ tipped to be their chosen project.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "It’s all very quiet, and very recent, but Matt and David have started speaking again. They’ve made up, which is amazing and what’s even better is that they are in serious discussions to work together next year.
"Both realise they missed one another a lot and realise how much joy they can bring themselves and the general public by making a comeback.
"’Come Fly With Me’ is seeming the best option at the moment."
The news comes after David, 47, admitted he’d also love to bring back ‘Little Britain’ for another tour.
He said in November: "I would like to return to it. I would like to do a live show again, I think that would be fun."
Asked what Matt thinks of the idea, he added: "Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, y’know.
"We were talking about, there’s an idea to possible do it for charity as well.
"The show wasn’t that big in America. I think we would do Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland."
The pair fell out during their 2005 ‘Little Britain Live’ tour, with Matt previously detailing in his autobiography, ‘Little Me’, how they were "often at loggerheads" over minor issues such as what chocolate to have backstage, which rapidly escalated.
And the 44-year-old comic recalled how an argument over his co-star’s facial hair ended with them "hurling obscenities at one another".
The pair stopped speaking to one another in 2011 but came face-to-face at Dale Winton’s funeral earlier this year.
