‘Different people’ Matt Lucas’ major fallout with Little Britain co-star David Walliams

Matt Lucas has addressed his historic fallout with his close friend and Little Britain so-star, David Williams. It comes as the star appears on BBC’s Who Do You Think You Are? tonight.

The duo became friends while studying at the National Youth Theatre in the 90s and doon became fast friends.

They finally hit the small screen together with their programme Little Britain running from 2003 to 2009.

Amongst the characters on the show, David and Matt’s portrayal as Lou Todd and Andy Pipkin was just one of many sketches on the programme.

They also went on to write Come Fly With Me which ran for a year from 2010.

He wrote: “We’re very different people and probably want different things and had different working methods.”

Addressing the partnership, he added at the time: “Well, it’s over for the time being. Whether it’s over forever I don’t know.”

But in 2020, the comedy duo started working together again, reuniting for a one-off Little Britain special called Little Brexit. 

A source told The Sun: “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.”

Matt also revealed they now speak to each other every day. 

“Often it’ll be silly pictures or videos we’ve found online, that sort of thing, and we just make each other laugh all the time,” he said.

Who Do You Think You Are? airs tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
