Elsewhere, David’s old comedy partner Matt Lucas has teased a Little Britain reboot as he revealed that the pair have been working on new TV projects.
Little Britain began as a radio show before being turned into a comedy sketch TV series which aired on BBC between 2003 and 2006.
And appearing on This Morning on Wednesday, co-creator Matt was quizzed on rumours of a reboot for a new generation.
Matt teased the possibility of the show’s return as he revealed that he and David had been working on several new ideas, both for TV and elsewhere.
He said: ‘Well what we’re doing is we’re working on a few different TV ideas, and maybe ideas in other mediums as well, to do stuff together again because it’s been a long time.
‘So we’re developing lots of different things.’
This Morning co-host Ben Shephard said: ‘I love seeing my younger nieces and nephews on Netflix watching Come Fly With Me, watching your stuff.
‘A completely different generation is suddenly finding all of your comedy on different streaming platforms. How does that feel for you?’

Matt replied: ‘It’s weird yeah. Come Fly With Me, I looked last night, is I think number three on Apple – you know when you buy the download.
‘It’s usually in the top three along with Game Of Thrones and things like that. But that’s teenagers discovering the show, 15 to 20 years after they were made.
‘And a lot of people are finding them on TikTok. They’re naughty, they’re naughty shows but the teenagers like it.’
It comes after Little Britain returned to BBC iPlayer in 2022 with offensive blackface scenes cut by producers, after it was removed from the service in 2020.
Assurances were given at the time that some scenes were removed by creators Matt and David, and advisory warnings were used at the start of some episodes.
Some of its characters, including Vicky Pollard and wheelchair user Andy, were retained, alongside others including Matt’s homosexual Welshman Dafydd Thomas and David’s ‘cross-dresser’ Emily Howard.
As part of the show’s 2022 revival, characters donning black face including Pastor Jesse King, Desiree DeVere and other racial stereotypes such as Thai bride Ting Tong, were axed.
In a statement at the time, the BBC said: ‘Little Britain has been made available to fans on BBC iPlayer following edits made to the series by Matt and David that better reflect the changes in the cultural landscape over the last 20 years since the show was first made.’
However the BBC defended an ‘explicitly racist’ sketch which is still available to view on iPlayer where David describes an Asian character as ‘smelling of soy sauce’ and ‘the ching-chong China man’.
Matt and David have both previously apologised for their use of blackface on the show which launched their respective careers
The corporation claims the sketch was ‘intended to expose and ridicule some of the outdated prejudices and racism that still exist in parts of British society’ after it was revealed viewers felt the content was inappropriate in new research by Ofcom.
The sketch, originally broadcast in 2002, shows David as university employee Linda Flint describing an Asian student, Kenneth Lao, over the phone to her manager.
He is described as having ‘yellowish skin, slight smell of soy sauce … the ching-chong China man.’ The scene is accompanied by a laugh track.
