Peep Show star Matt King has revealed that he's never watched an episode of ... Peep Show.

The actor, who played Super Hans in 36 episodes of the Channel 4 sitcom, revealed on Twitter why he sometimes "forgets things" that Hans said over the show's nine series.

"Yes, sometimes I do forget things Hans said in Peep Show," he wrote. "Because I've never sat down and watched an episode. Ever. Mainly cos I hate watching myself.

"So some of the very funny things I said TWENTY fucking years ago, may on occasion, slip my mind."

Starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb, with regular cast members including King, Olivia Colman, Paterson Joseph, Isy Suttie and Jim Howick, Peep Show ran from 2003 to 2015 and remains Channel 4's longest-running comedy series.

King also posted that that he was "mobbed" by fans of the show during a Fontaines D.C. gig in November last year.

"I took my son to see @fontainesdublin last November and believe me, I understand the power of Peep Show.

"I was fucking mobbed by humans who were largely unborn when I was filming the third series. It's a very special show to me too. Just can't watch it. MK."

He added: "That's not me humble bragging. I'm just answering those lovely peeps who said I can't fully understand the power of Peep Show if I've never watched a full episode. I definitely can. I get people shouting 'Men with Ven' at me approximately six hundred times a year. I get it."

Asked if there's any chance of Peep Show returning, King replied: "Absolutely zero."
