Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett in talks for more collaborations

Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett are in talks for more projects together.

The comedy due – who have teamed up on two series of ‘Rom & Romesh Vs…’ – are keen to collaborate again in the future, providing they can find the right idea.

Appearing on ITV’s ‘Good Morning Britain’, Romesh told Lorraine Kelly: "I think so. We’re talking about it.

"Rob’s a really good mate of mine, obviously, and we do enjoy doing the shows together. Our thing is always, we wanna do it if we think it’ll be good.

"So we are constantly looking for opportunities to work together just because it’s so much fun.

However, Romesh couldn’t resist a dig at his friend and co-star, as he insisted Rob is "hugely annoying" and so he doesn’t want to be around him too much.

He joked: "I say, ‘fun’, Lorraine. I know that Rob was on your show recently.

"Rob combines being funny and entertaining with being hugely annoying. There’s this balance you have to offset.

"I do want to work with him, but there’s a point at which, during every show, I never want to see him again. So it’s kind of walking that line, you know?"

The second series of ‘Rob & Romesh Vs…’ aired on Sky One and NOW TV in May and Rob, 34, claimed his 42-year-old co-star demanded to be put on a separate flight as they travelled the world.

Asked what they did differently for the second series, Rob revealed: "Separate flights, which was something you insisted on, wasn’t it Romesh?"

Despite denying he made the request, Romesh was "delighted" to have some time away from the "awful" stand-up comedian.

He explained: "Listen, I didn’t request that but what I will say is that I was delighted when it happened! Rob on a flight – he’s great, he’s a lovely guy, but one of Rob’s favourite things to do is, when we’re together on a flight, whenever I say anything, he’ll say to the staff on the flight, ‘Oh sorry about him’.

"He just makes it look like I’m being a prick regardless, even if I’m just asking for something reasonable like, ‘Is it possible to just get a diet coke or something?’ ‘Sorry about him’, ‘He’s a bit impolite mate’ – he’s awful!"
