Channel 4's outrageous new comedy is finally set to hit screens after three years of delays. 

The show, which makes Spitting Image look tame, is a steamy fanfiction series named No Strings Attached. 

The series will now debut on E4 on November 11 and will be fronted by Bake Off's Mel Giedroyc. 

Each week a different star will read out a steamy story written about themselves by an amateur internet author, which will be brought to life by a series of puppets.

In a first glimpse, lookalike puppets show Sam Thompson, Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffat, Melvin Odoom, Kerry Katona, Martin Kemp, and Coleen Nolan will be taking part. 

Comedian and host Mel said: 'This is going to be a celebration of erotic fan fiction. With puppets.'

She added: 'Imagine a world where Jackie Collins meets Thunderbirds. I’m so looking forward to a trip to Love Island ... via Tracy Island.'

Each of the six episodes will be a 'private book club' where both Mel and her guest will not be told in advance what the story will entail.

Vivienne Molokwu, the programme’s commissioning editor, said: 'I’m very much looking forward to steamy storytime with Mel, a gang of celeb mates and a bunch of look alike puppets.

'This is a very Channel 4 way of encouraging creative writing, where artistic self-expression will be encouraged. 

'We may well unearth the next E.L. James in the process, which has got to be a good thing.'

Maia Liddell, from the show production company RDF Television, added: 'A passion project four years in the making, we’re really excited to be delving into the creative, intriguing and erotic world of fan fiction writing. 

'We couldn’t have a more perfect host in Mel to take the guests, and us, on these thrilling adventures.'

A source told The Sun back in 2023: 'Martin and Kerry have both agreed to take part in the Really Rude Puppet Show, along with Coleen Nolan, Sam Thompson and Melvin Odoom.' 

They added: 'They all jumped at the chance to get involved in the project which is turning out to be hilarious.'

ITV's Spitting Image was created by British caricaturists Peter Fluck and Roger Law and was merciless in its depiction of the leading public figures of the day.

The BAFTA and Emmy award-winning satirical television series originally ran for 18 series between 1984 and 1996 and was watched by over 15 million viewers.

In 2020 it made a return to TV to (since disbanded UK streaming service) BritBox, achieving critical praise across the political divide.

On official social media channels, Spitting Image content was massively popular with over 200 million views globally and three number one trending videos on YouTube.

Three new one-off specials for ITV, alongside BritBox, also saw huge success on terrestrial television: with a 4.4 million audience in 2020 achieving ITV's highest Saturday night ratings at that time in four years.

It returned with 12 episodes last month and shows Prince Harry depicted as a puppet, sat down with Paddington Bear, as well as Spitting Image's portrayal of Donald Trump at the White House.
