Jason Manford to star in nudist sitcom 'Naked House' for ITV1

Naked House will see the comic play a father who's forced to move back in with his retired parents.

However, Manford's character is shocked when he discovers that both his mother and father have embraced naturism since retiring.

A pilot for the sitcom - which is being made by Leftbank Pictures (School of Comedy, Mad Dogs) - will shoot at the BBC's Elstree Studios on Friday, April 27.

ITV1 is also developing sitcom pilot The Job Lot, starring Russell Tovey (Him & Her) and Emma Rigby (Hollyoaks).

Last month, it was also reported that the channel had hired Harry Hill and Alistair McGowan to appear on new sports-based panel show You Cannot Be Serious!.

Jason Manford was recently confirmed to appear in the West End production of Sweeney Todd.

The comedian and former One Show host will make his stage debut as Italian barber Adolfo Pirelli, appearing at London's Adelphi theatre between July 2 and 27.
