The Little Britain comedians want to attempt the bobsleigh course - which includes speeds of up to 80 mph - for charity, says the Daily Star.

It would follow David’s swim across the channel for Sport Relief.

Matt has vowed to join his pal to raise money for the same cause, and the duo are hoping to complete the Swiss run later this year as part of a four-man team.

A source said: "David and Matt are keen on tackling something together for this worthy course and someone came up with the idea of the Cresta Run. It was a bit of a jokey suggestion, but the boys are deadly serious and definitely considering taking on the challenge. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but there have been talks.

"There are plenty of obstacles to overcome - not least getting them insured, but they are keen."


David signs up legendary comic - Jan 10 2007
David Walliams is apparently set to be one half of a surprising new comedy double act - with Ronnie Corbett.

The Little Britain star has signed up comic legend Ronnie for his next project, the Daily Star reports.

David will co-star in the series about a rest home and Ronnie, 76, will play an ageing lothario. Rob Brydon will play David’s brother in the show.

Ronnie, famous for being half of The Two Ronnies alongside Ronnie Barker, is quoted as saying: "My character is a real old charmer who is in his element being the only man in the place.

"David and Rob were kind enough to come up with the idea and I’m really looking forward to working on it."

The TV veteran also admitted he’d turned down a role in Little Britain.

"They asked me to take part in the last series as Roman Devere, ex-husband of Bubbles," he said.

"It was very sweet of them but I had to tell them that, at my age, rolling around in a sauna with a fat, naked lady was going a little too far."

Boy George and Walliams in TV spat - Dec 21 2006
A catfight has broken out between Little Britain star David Walliams and Boy George.

Sparks flew when the former Culture Club singer asked Walliams about his comedy partner Matt Lucas’s nuptials.

Boy George, 45, a special guest on Channel 4’s The Big Fat Quiz Of The Year, asked Walliams: "How was Matt’s wedding?" Stony-faced Walliams, 35, replied: "Very nice thank you. It was great you weren’t there."

Russell Brand, 31, who was also on the show, told the audience: "There’s a bad atmosphere here now and I want to go home."

Walliams defended his actions following the recording, saying: "There’s a background to this. I wouldn’t be mean for the sake of it."

Brand explained later: "Apparently Boy George thinks that Matt Lucas isn’t a good example of homosexuality."

The Big Fat Quiz Of The Year is hosted by Jimmy Carr.

It also features Rob Brydon, Cat Deeley and Jonathan Ross.

The show will be broadcast on Wednesday December 27 at 9pm on Channel 4.

’Best of British’ honoured by Queen - Dec 20 2006

She also gave the Duke of Edinburgh a kiss and put her arm around his shoulder.
