- Steve Coogan, 59, has stated he feels he is increasingly morphing into his long-standing alter-ego, Alan Partridge, a character he has played for over three decades since 1991.
- Coogan recounted an incident where he discovered he was wearing a shirt identical to one prepared for Partridge on set, leading him to feel the lines between himself and the character were blurring.
- He explained that he needed to change into the costume shirt for his 'own sanity' to maintain a clear distinction between his identity and Partridge's.
- A new Partridge series, 'And Did Those Feet… with Alan Partridge,' is forthcoming, which will see the character return to his home county of Norfolk after working in Saudi Arabia.
- Coogan is also set to reunite with Rob Brydon for a fifth season of 'The Trip,' with filming scheduled to commence in Scandinavia later this year.
