we all know that Prince's ego will never allow him to do it, but this would be so funny if it did happen. Stephen is just about onwe of the funniest in the UK.

Extras star Stephen Merchant wants singer Prince to appear in the final episode of the BBC Two hit show Extras.

Merchant and comedy partner Ricky Gervais are planning a Christmas special.

Each episode features a celebrity cameo - Robert De Niro, Kate Winslet and David Bowie are among the previous guest stars.

Merchant told radio station Heart: "There's almost certainly going to be a Christmas special. Ricky's on tour at the moment so we haven't even begun to sit down to write it and talk about it.

"I don't know if we'll go for him but I'd love to get Prince. I'm such a Prince fan. I don't know what he's doing as we speak - is he lying in some sort of purple hammock just strumming on a guitar, being fed cherries? I have no concept. Does he unload the dishwasher? Does he have a pair of slippers? I don't know anything about Prince.

"I would love that idea and me being six foot seven and Prince being, whatever he is, four foot one, would be comic enough."

He added: "Ricky is very useful because he's the only one who can persuade celebrities to take part. I've got no contacts whatsoever, I thought by now I'd have loads of celebrity pals."

Merchant also revealed he has been approached to pose naked for Cosmopolitan magazine.

He said: "They said, 'We've had a survey of our readers and you're one of the top choices' - yeah, right, like the readers of Cosmo have rushed out thinking, 'We've gotta get the lanky guy out of Extras. He's the man for me'.

"I don't want to ever look back at myself naked."

hello, anyone out there!!!!

It would be fantastic but it wont happen because prince cannot laugh at himself.

I wouldn't hold my breath for this one!
