Little Britain fans go wild as Matt Lucas and David Walliams reunite after quitting Bake Off and BGT
LITTLE Britain fans have gone wild as Matt Lucas and David Walliams reunited following the pair quitting their TV shows.
The comedians, who starred together in the Little Britain and Come Fly With Me series, have reunited.
It comes following Matt Lucas announcing earlier this week that he has quit The Great British Bake Off.
David also left his role as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent following his foul-mouthed comments about contestants being exposed.
Now fans are speculating the pair are working on a new project together after they posted a snap online.
They both looked happy as they had their laptops open as Matt simply said: “Writing.”
Replying to the tweet which has racked up over 7k likes, one fan said: “Do you think you could do another series of “Come fly with me”? I thought that was hysterical.”
Another said: “Brilliant to see you back writing and producing together… i hope the p.c army doesn’t enter your thoughts on your writing… we need propper comedy back on our screens. Bring back Little Britain.”
“Nice to see you both back together… and writing! Can’t wait to see what you both do. Much love to you two,” said a third.
While a fourth posted: “About bloody time, the pair of you stop fannying about now and get on with it! :).”
Both David and Matt didn’t speak for almost a decade after a feud saw the comedy duo fall out.
The pair stopped working with each other in 2011, amid reports the friendship became strained.
Matt wrote in his autobiography about how tensions rose between the pair in 2005 during their epic Little Britain Live tour, leading to a spectacular fight backstage one night.
In the book, Little Me, Matt revealed they were “often at loggerheads”, and rows over trivial matters, including what kind of chocolate to have backstage, often escalated.
Speaking about the feud, David said in 2012: “We’re very different people and probably want different things and had different working methods.”
He added: “Well, it’s over for the time being. Whether it’s over forever I don’t know.”
