The cast and crew of Misfits have dropped some hints about the Christmas special.

Speaking at the launch of the second series, Robert Sheehan promised that the episode will have a festive tone.

"It's almost sickly Christmassy," Sheehan, who plays Nathan, joked. "It's overly Christmassy."

The show's creator Howard Overman added: "There's a birth scene the like of which [you've never seen]... I'm not sure it will be popular among Christians."

Lauren Socha, who plays Kelly, explained that the scene is "very weird". Meanwhile, Sheehan compared it to Alien, adding: "It's in a manger."

Misfits returns for its second series on November 11 at 10pm on E4.
