Gervais: It’s end of Brent career on TV

- BY LUCY MAPSTONE

RICKY Gervais said David Brent will not appear again in a TV series or film.

But he said the deluded boss of hit sitcom The Office may appear in a one-off concert.

He said: “What I might do, just to put it all to bed, is record one of the concerts where David Brent plays live.”

Brent was last seen in a 2016 mockumenta­ry as a wannabe rock star.

Gervais, 56, told ITV’s Lorraine he could not see himself doing a series or film about him.

But he added: “I like Brent. He falls over but gets up and I admire that.”

Gervais also defended his jibes at celebritie­s as he hosted the Golden Globes in the US as “teasing the richest, most beautiful people in the world”.
