Frank Skinner has revealed that he is considering working on a Fantasy Cricket TV show.

The comedian, 52, reportedly met up with his former Fantasy Football co-star Angus 'Statto' Loughran and the pair are apparently considering working together again.

"I could be back with a cricket version of Fantasy Football. I think Fantasy Cricket would work," he is quoted as saying.

Skinner presented Fantasy Football with David Baddiel between 1994 and 1996 on BBC Two. They also hosted World Cup and European Championship specials on ITV in 1998 and 2004.

According to The Sun, ITV is also planning to revive comedy show Baddiel & Skinner Unplanned, but will use different hosts.

"They approached me and said, 'What two comedians would you recommend?'" said Skinner. "I said, 'What do you mean, we're not dead?'

"But I don't mind them bringing it back with younger comedians - because I own the format."
