Well, we thought it was just another strange bit of TV gossip to be taken with a pinch of salt. However, it seems not! As previously mentioned in the blog last week, George Michael will be sending himself up big time in the BBC’s forthcoming Extras Christmas Special.

If the promotional clips currently doing the rounds on the Internet are anything to go by, the show’s Christmas special will be a highlight of the beeb’s Christmas TV line-up. And, as usual, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant seem to have once again pulled out all the stops. Well, considering this episode is going to be the show’s swansong, we should blooming well hope so! The one-off show sees 44-year-old Michael mocking his own well publicized behavior, including spoofing his own past drug and public bathroom sex antics. We all know it’s been an up and down year for Michael, but the singer certainly hasn’t lost any of his sense of humor!

Whilst the net has been flooded with rumours flying around for months about which A-listers will feature in the last ever episode of Extras (Prince? Will Ferrell?), we’ve managed to find the newly released trailer. Enjoy!
