Channel 4 has commissioned a second series of Lee and Dean, the comedy series about two builders in Stevenage.

Mark O’Sullivan and Miles Chapman are to make six more episodes for the broadcaster, picking up where the series one cliffhanger left off.

Fiona McDermott, head of comedy at Channel 4, said: ‘I may not be prepared to hire Lee and Dean to do work on my house, but I am prepared to give them another run at this brilliant original comedy.’

In a statement, the writers and stars said: 'We’re thrilled to be diving back into the lives of Lee and Dean. Making the first series was a dream come true, and being given another is truly amazing. We can’t wait to continue the story – we promise there’ll be plenty of twists and surprises.’

In the last episode, client  Mrs Bryce-D’Souza (Anna Morris) and object of Lee’s affections announced she was pregnant, threatening his relationship with girlfriend Nikki, and with a big question mark over the baby’s paternity.

Camille Ucan, Sam Underwood and Ricky Grover also star in the series.
