Corden and Horne show 'gayest ever'

5 March 2009 02:17pm

James Corden and Mathew Horne have said their new TV sketch series could be "the gayest show ever".

The comedy duo - who found fame with Gavin And Stacey - are back on screens with Horne And Corden and promise there will be plenty of laughs.

James told the Daily Star: "We're a bit worried that it's the gayest show ever. There's a lot of flesh in episode one. Mat gets to jiggle my belly as well, which was a bit of an honour for him."

Mat replied: "It was a real honour! I play this camp newsreader called Tim Goodall who wears these tiny shorts. And obviously as I'm a method actor I had to get a back, sack and crack."

James said throughout every sketch "there's this strain that is essentially a love story between me and Mat".

Mat went on: "It's homo-erotic and tactile. We're always touching each other. The one thing we didn't want it to be is laddish because a sketch show with two guys could so easily become blokey like that."

James added that it's "mind-blowingly gay".

Horne And Corden airs on BBC Three from March 10.
