Steve Coogan has teased Alan Partridge's future in a return to the chat show format that he made his name in.

The actor and comedian appears on Alan Carr: Chatty Man this evening (March 17), and was asked about Partridge's future plans.

"We might do a real chat show," he revealed. "Alan Partridge: Speaky Man. We might do a real one, with real guests.

"I don't know. We are having a think about it.

He continued: "Thing is, we really want to make fun of the guests in a way that is a bit edgy.

"I interviewed Elton John once and made fun of his propensity of buying huge bouquets of flowers and being a gay ex pothead.

"He was great. He wore his pink suit to look extra gay for us. It was nice."

Partridge famously came to prominence in the 1990s at the host of Knowing Me, Knowing You.

Alan Carr: Chatty Man airs on Channel 4 this evening at 10pm. Other guests include All Saints, Rob Delaney, Michael Socha and Michaela Coel.
