Catherine Tate is to reunite with James Bond megastar Daniel Craig for a comedy skit on Comic Relief this Friday.
The comedian, 51, will serve up her infamous portrayal of Nan, as she meets the 007 actor, when she picks up a part-time cleaning gig at the Secret Intelligence Service headquarters.
It’s been 12 years since the duo first joined forces for the charity, as her unlucky-in-love character Elaine Figgis forged a romance with the spy.

After foul-mouthed Nan bumps into the commander, Bond finds himself answering awkward questions during his security briefing.
On their collaboration, actress and comedienne Catherine said, ‘Nan had a right old time meeting Bond. What a smashing fella.”
“As ever, it was great fun filming this Comic Relief sketch, huge thanks to Daniel and all the Bond team for being such great sports. I hope it raises lots of money.”
