Ricky Gervais’ comedy sidekick was a huge hit in the first series, which saw Karl visiting the new seven wonders of the world…

And while he will be appearing in one more series and one-off special, he won’t be filming any more after that.

Writing on his blog, Ricky – who created the show alongside Stephen Merchant – said: “He will never do another series though. That’s for sure. So enjoy the next one as it will be the last.

“I think he’s right too. Two series and a special – that’s my motto.

“Ah. A special! Perfect. Let me talk to him.”

As well as ruling out another series of ‘An Idiot Abroad’, Ricky says he doesn’t want to think about what his ‘Office’ alter-ego David Brent is getting up to now…

The comedian – who appeared as the work buffoon in two series and a Christmas special – told Shortlist magazinem “I don’t like to think about what Brent would be doing because we only wanted him to exist in the programme’s bubble.

“He might be OK. I’m pretty sure he’s gone back to a regular job and got all that ‘being famous’ stuff out of his system.

“I don’t think he ‘made it’ in the way he wanted to.”

Courtesy of Apollinas. Ingredients: Directions Heat oven to 350°F. Butter two 8?, 9? or 10? round cake pans, line the bottoms with greaseproof paper, butter again, and dust with flour, tapping out the excess. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.Using an electric mix, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high until fluffy – this will take around 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the grated zest of the oranges and lemons. Beat in the vanilla, then the eggs one at a time.Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture in 3 additions and the milk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixtur...
