The comedian has reunited with long-time comedy partner David Walliams to revive their iconic Rock Profiles sketch show for a one off Comic Relief Red Nose Day special

Matt Lucas has showcased his impressive weight loss by stripping down to a very revealing Miley Cyrus inspired costume for a new comedy sketch.

The 48-year-old comedian is dressing up as a multitude of music stars for a sketch for Comic Relief – with his turn as 29-year-old Miley seeing him wearing a flesh baring outfit that the American wild child would be proud of.

Matt dons a short, shimmering silver skirt for the sketch and has straps running up his body to hold up the material, while matching silver straps are added around his arms and wrists.

The funnyman also dons an impressive pair of silver coloured thigh-high boots, while a wig offers him a dramatic new hairline and a huge swinging ponytail.

Matt is joined by 50-year-old comedy partner David Walliams for a comedy reunion special where they are resurrecting their iconic sketch show Rock Profiles for a one off special in honour of Comic Relief.

In a preview clip, Matt is shown in his make-over costume and declaring in a comedically over emphasised Southern America accent: “Hi there sweet cheeks. Miley Cyrus here, with my papa.”

David is then shown stepping forward while in costume and declaring slightly forcefully: “Billy Ray Cyrus!”

David can then be heard crying “yeehaw” and footage shows the pair dancing around a music studio and singing into microphones.

Matt, as Miley, then states: “Don’t forget to watch Comic Relief – Red Nose Day this Friday.”

Further footage then shows the pair being joined by TV host Vernon Kay with them all wearing charity Red Nose Day noses.

Matt continues: “You’re going to love it” – with David adding: “On BBC One.”

The pair have shared other photos showing them dressed as Lady Gaga, Post Malone, Alfie Boe and Michael Ball.

Last year, Matt opened up about his weight-loss journey during a discussion with Lorraine Kelly who was shocked to see the Great British Bake Off host looking slimmer than ever.

She asked the star: “How on earth though, have you been in lockdown and working on Bake Off and you’ve lost tonnes of weight?”

Matt replied: “I’ve lost some weight, I needed to take the edge off, because I put on a lot of weight in lockdown.

“I just had to do something about it,” he added, to which Lorraine said: “Yes, just not eat as much and move around a wee bit more, that’s kind of what you have to do.”

Matt said: “I’ve still got a bit of a tum, I’ve got a little bit of a tum, I’m not a skinny Minnie.”

He had previously declared online: “The one thing I need to do is get fitter.

“I have put on a little bit of weight, that’s my next challenge to do a bit more exercise. I might have to make a game of it when I go out and exercise to stay out of people’s way. I don’t have a garden so I have to find a way to do that.”
