BritBox confirms some of the celebrities who will be parodied in the upcoming reboot of Spitting Image.

Donald Trump, RuPaul and James Corden are among the celebrities that will be parodied in the upcoming reboot of Spitting Image.

The comedy puppet show ran for 18 series between 1984 and 1996 on ITV and was renowned for its cutting send-ups of the politicians of the day, as well as wider public figures.

The revival is being developed exclusively for streaming service BritBox for release this autumn, and today the platform announced some of the celebrities who will feature.

Trump and his wife Melania will appear as will Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his controversial aide Dominic Cummings, while Royal figures include Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and Prince Andrew.

Others include Beyonce, Adele, failed Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, eccentric billionaire Elon Musk and the seemingly indefatigable Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Also heading to BritBox this autumn are movies from the Film4 library, crime dramas including A Touch Of Frost and more classic episodes of Coronation Street to mark the soap's 60th anniversary.
