Comedy duo Matt Lucas and David Walliams are reviving their sketch show Rock Profile for one night only, in aid of Comic Relief. The pair will be transforming into famous faces for the Red Nose Day special of Rock Profile.
Before they created Little Britain, the pair were imitating pop stars for Rock Profile in bizarre mock interviews. Now, the pair are reuniting as caricatures of modern pop stars in the name of charity.
Vernon Kay will be interviewing some of the world's biggest pop stars in the recording studio as they prepare for the release of the Comic Relief single, the iconic ballad, The Greatest Love Of All.

Viewers will see Adele, Post Malone, Lady Gaga, Lewis Capaldi and many more as if they have never seen them before. Because, well, they are actually Lucas and Walliams.
"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,” Matt Lucas says.
David Walliams 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."
Host Vernon Kay said he has been watching David and Matt’s sketches for as long as he can remember. “Thankfully I will be playing myself in Rock Profile, so I’ll be saving David or Matt the embarrassment of attempting my accent!” he said.
“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."
