As filming for Little Britain continues, Matt Lucas has pulled out his naked fat suit for the U.S. version of the hit comedy show.

Yesterday the star looked like a creature that just escaped from the blue lagoon when he slipped into a fat naked woman's costume equipped with seaweed, cellulite and green nails.

Matt Lucas plays the naked fat lady in the US version of Little Britain

Matt Lucas is his normal guise

Naked and bald and wearing only a pairof flip flops Matt, 34, stepped out into the Miami sunshine as if he was aiming for a tan.

The hideous costume made the comedian appear to be stark naked with his breast sagging.

With no underwear he shocked the American public as he walked through a Miami beach car park.

British shows such as The Office, Strictly Come Dancing and Pop Idol have been an instant hit in the U.S. and Little Britain is hoping to do the same.

The U.S. version of the show - that has been picked up by American channel HBO - will feature new characters such as chubby school girl Ellie Grey and her possessive mother.

Old characters such as the naked lady will soon be debuted to America, but with its very British sense of humour it is a gamble whether Little Britain will be understood by viewers stateside.
