Shut up! Vicky Pollard star Matt Lucas is going head-to-head with comedy pal David Walliams … writing children’s books.
Matt, 49, has signed a two-novel deal, starting with The Boy Who Slept Through Christmas – described as Home Alone meets Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
Little Britain co-star Walliams, 51, wrote his first children’s book, The Boy in the Dress, in 2008. His writing has since netted some £100million.
