Lucas is expected to film his role early next year
Little Britain's Matt Lucas is to make a cameo
appearance in an episode of the hit Australian comedy
Kath and Kim.

Lucas, 32, is set to film his role when he tours
Australia with his comedy partner David Walliams early
next year.

"I don't know what I'll be doing yet," he told The Sun
newspaper, but added there had been a suggestion he
would "play a member of their family".

Previous guest stars on Kath and Kim include Kylie
Minogue, actor Geoffrey Rush and actress Rachel
Griffiths.

The series, which was created by its stars, Jane
Turner and Gina Riley, has been a hit around the world
and can be seen on BBC Two and Living TV in the UK.

Inspired by a 1990s fly-on-the-wall series called
Sylvania Waters, it sees self-absorbed Kim move back
in with her divorced mother Kath, and follows the
ups-and-downs of their love lives.

It has twice won the Logie award - Australia's
equivalent of an Emmy - for outstanding comedy series.

The BBC bought the rights to a film spin-off of the
suburban sitcom earlier this year.

Da Kath and Kim Code, which features a cameo
appearance by Barry Humphries, was the top-rated film
on Australian TV in 2005, with an average audience of
2.2 million.
