OHMYGOSSIP — David Walliams and Matt Lucas will reunite for a ‘Rock Profile’ skit for Red Nose Day.
The cult sketch show previously aired from 1999 to 2009 and saw the comedy duo play musicians in spoof interviews, and in the new Comic Relief segment the pair are to play the likes of Adele, Post Malone, Lady Gaga, Lewis Capaldi and many more.
Matt said: “It’s been really fun giving the ‘Rock Profile’ treatment to a host of stars who weren’t even twinkles in our eyes when we first did the show nearly 25 years ago.”
David added: “It has been a blast working with Matt on ‘Rock Profile’ again. I can’t wait for everyone to see our brand-new characters.”
Jamie Theakston previously played the part of the interviewer in the first two seasons, before Dermot O’Leary took over for the third series.
But Vernon Kay has landed the gig for the upcoming charity skit.
He said: “I have been watching David and Matt’s sketches for as long as I can remember, so I am super excited to get to be part of one myself.
“Thankfully I will be playing myself in Rock Profile, so I’ll be saving David or Matt the embarrassment of attempting my accent!
“To be taking part all in the name of Comic Relief, makes this even better, as the work they do is super important.
“If we can make a few people laugh and raise some money, then we have done our job! I can’t wait to see what David and Matt have in store for me.”
