Matt Lucas is trying his best to cheer up a country under lockdown by bringing back one of his most popular characters.
The comedian, 46, sang one of George Dawes' best loved tracks - the Baked Potato Song - in a video posted to his Twitter account on Tuesday night.
Matt played scorekeeper George in the outlandish panel show Shooting Stars and would occasionally perform his self-penned songs.
But in this video the Baked Potato Song had been given a coronavirus themed makeover.
Matt kept the original lyrics at first, singing: "Baked potato changed my life, baked potato showed me the way.
"If you want to know what is wrong from right you must listen to what potatoes say."
But then her changed it up a bit, continuing: "Wash your hands and stay indoors. Thank you baked potato.
"Only go to grocery stores. Thank you baked potato.
"If you want to have a better day you must listen to what the baked potatoes say.
"Keeps some distance, make some space. Thank you baked potato.
"Remember not to touch your face. Thank you baked potato.
"If you want to have a better day you must listen to what the baked potatoes say.
"B-A-K-E-D P-O-T-A-T-O. Baked potato!"
The video delighted Matt's Twitter followers.
One responded: "Kids cracking up. It's been on a loop for an hour! Thank you baked potato..."
"You're a delightful man," another tweeted.
A third posted: "Thanks Matt cheered me up no end. I didn't know baked potatoes were so clever and thoughtful."
