COMEDIAN Chris Lilley has appeared to confirm that his controversial sketch show could be making a comeback.
The Aussie comedy star became adored by viewers for playing the character of Mr. G. in Summer Heights High – the popular 2007 sitcom.
In the show, Mr G was the Director of Performing Arts and it also introduced viewers to some of his other popular sketch show characters including student Ja’mie.
Now, Chris has revived the Mr G in a brand new social media post to tease a brand new project involving the character.
On his TikTok channel, he has shared a slew of cryptic clips that all have connections to the often controversial character.
One showed a pink exercise ball that regularly featured in his classroom roll across the floor whilst another showed the legs of a man dancing.
A third showed a man bouncing on the pink ball as a piano played in the background.
A final updated then declared: “Mr G is back.”
Further details as to exactly how Mr G will return are yet to be revealed.
It sent fans into a complete frenzy and meltdown with one saying online: “Do not play with us Mr Lilley. We’ve been waiting for Mr G’s star moment for YEARS.”
Another added: “OMG PLEASE TELL ME YOURE WELCOMING US TO MR G’S ROOM.”
Summer Heights High proved controversial and was eventually pulled from Netflix in 2020 amid concerns.
