Gervais 'not appearing in US Office'
Producers deny reports
Producers of the American version of The Office have denied reports Ricky Gervais is to make a guest appearance in a forthcoming episode.Scotland’s Daily Record reported on Friday that Gervais would reprise his role as David Brent in the last episode of the NBC sitcom.
But executive producer Paul Lieberstein says he knew nothing of any such deal.
He told E! Online: ‘We love Ricky, but have not had any discussions about an appearance on the U.S. show. And we haven't given any thought to the final show because it is probably a zillion episodes away.’
Meanwhile, Mathew Horne’s agent has denied weekend press reports that he and James Corden are to form their own band to play the Isle Of Wight festival this summer.
The News Of The World had claimed they would be appearing in front of up to 70,000 music fans with just five days of rehearsal behind them.
