Star of the show Punch said: "I'm beyond excited to get started on Amandaland series two with our brilliantly talented, lovely cast."

She added, in character: "The Christmas special is going to be an absolute cracker - it's like totes fire, with all the festive feels, for reals. Slay bells!"

The first series of Amandaland, broadcast earlier this year, received rave reviews from critics, with the Telegraph saying that Punch and her on-screen mother Dame Joanna "make a dream comic double act".

Previous double act, Saunders and Dame Joanna both won Baftas for their portrayals of PR boss Edina and retired model Patsy, respectively, in the popular 1990s British sitcom Absolutely Fabulous - aka Ab Fab.

The show initially aired from 1992 to 2005, before a 20th anniversary miniseries in 2012.

Across a handful of series and a well received feature length movie finale in 2016, the heavy-drinking, chain-smoking and codependent pair attempted to relive their youth - in swinging 1960s London - over and over again, often with funny and cringe-worthy consequences.

The stars came together again last year, alongside fellow Ab Fab actresses Julia Sawalha and Jane Horrocks, to share anecdotes and backstage secrets on the Gold programme Absolutely Fabulous: Inside Out.
