Matt Lucas and David Walliams still "haven't pitched" their new idea to TV bosses.
Matt Lucas has given an update on his new show with David Walliams
The former 'Little Britain' stars - who rose to fame as the stars and co-creators of the early 2000s BBC sitcom - are working together on a new series, but the project is still in its early stages.
Appearing on ITV's 'Lorraine' on Thursday (28.09.23), he said: "We are working on a new idea and we will see what happens with that.
"We haven't pitched the idea to anyone yet."
Matt was making his first TV appearance since 'The Great British Bake Off' returned to Channel 4 on Tuesday (26.09.23) with Alison Hammond replacing him as host.
Reflecting on her debut, he admitted: "I thought Alison was brilliant. We have been messaging each other she is fantastic."
The 49-year-old comedian's comments about his project with David come after reports the latter is suing the makers of 'Britain's Got Talent'.
The former talent show judge left the show last November after derogatory remarks he made about contestants during a break from filming auditions in January 2020 were made public, and he's now taking legal action with production company Fremantle over the leak.
According to The Sun online, he submitted paperwork at the High Court in London last Thursday (21.09.23), in which he accused the producers of a data protection breach over the leaked transcript.
The 52-year-old comic - who filed his lawsuit under his real name David Edwards Williams - is seeking damages and has hired Brandsmiths, a legal firm who specialist in data protection breaches.
David insisted the conversations were "never intended to be shared", but he did issue an apology.
He said in a statement: "I would like to apologise to the people I made disrespectful comments about during breaks in filming for 'Britain’s Got Talent' in 2020.
"These were private conversations and - like most conversations with friends - were never intended to be shared. Nevertheless, I am sorry."
