James Corden and Mathew Horne have revealed that they are writing a sketch show.

Corden was named Best Male Comedy Newcomer at Wednesday's British Comedy Awards for his role as Smithy in BBC Three's Gavin & Stacey, which also scooped Best New British Television Comedy.

The pair have also been announced as the regular presenters of Big Brother's Big Mouth for E4's Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack next month.

However, Corden told the Mirror that they are also putting together a project of their own, saying: "Me and Mat are working on a sketch show that we'd like to develop. It's something we have always wanted to do.

"We are going to make a pilot with the BBC and we want it to be like the sketch shows we used to love watching, like Smith And Jones and The Mary Whitehouse Experience."
