The comedy duo have teamed up for the segment, bringing back Rock Profile – a spoof interview show that saw them lampoon stars including Michael Jackson and Gary Barlow.

Thirteen years after its last episode, David and Matt are reviving it just for the annual charity special.

In a first look clip, the pair are seen as Michael Ball and Alfie Boe talking to Vernon Kay.

The comedians play up a rivalry between the two singers, with Michael claiming their fans are called the ‘Ballettes’ while Alfie says they are called the ‘Boebelles’ before they debate whose name should be said first.

When Vernon asks if there had been a lot of fans waiting for them that day, Michael says: “Oh yes a huge crowd, two or three people…but it’s everywhere we go Vernon! At one point I thought my clothes were going to get ripped off!”

Alfie then adds: “Well if she’d been quicker on that zimmerframe…I’m the sexy one Vern, my fans are not as old as his.”

Matt and David also wore white open neck shirts and black suit jackets to look like Michael Ball and Alfie Boe while holding a ‘Ball and Boe Christmas’.

After seeing the picture online, Michael, 59, joked on Twitter: “My lawyers have been alerted and an abusive letter follows!!! can’t wait to see what you’ve done for @comicrelief xxx.”

Speaking about the Rock Profile revival, Matt said: “It’s been really fun giving the “Rock Profile” treatment to a host of stars who weren’t even twinkles in our eyes when we first did the show nearly 25 years ago.’‘


David added: “I can’t wait for everyone to see our brand-new characters.”

Previous pictures saw Matt, 48, dressed in a revealing silver outfit and long blonde ponytail as Miley Cyrus, while David, 50, sports a mullet as her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus.

The original series, which ran from 1999 to 2009, saw Jamie Theakston interviewing the ‘stars’.

However this time, Vernon will be replacing him.

The 47-year-old said: “Thankfully I will be playing myself in Rock Profile, so I’ll be saving David or Matt the embarrassment of attempting my accent.”
