Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings and Prince Andrew are the latest dummies created for the brand new series of Spitting Image, it has been revealed. 

The series, which will air on BritBox later this year, will be seen tackling coronavirus and a host of scandals through the eyes of those that have been at centre stage of them. 

First look photos of the caricature dummies shows Boris Johnson’s hair take over his face with his suit looking unkempt and scruffy. 

Meanwhile Dominic Cummings, the prime minister’s chief advisor, is seen looking like an evil villain complete with his spiky silver collar, hoodie and puffer jacket. 

Finally Prince Andrew, amid the continuing scandal involving his connection to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, is seen with his chin up in a tartan coat. 

The three UK faces are just some of the new characters being brought on board for the show, with others being given the Spitting Image treatment.

It’s also been announced Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Bernie Sanders will be the political figures being put through the wringer. 

The celeb world isn’t safe either, with RuPaul, Adele, Elon Musk, Beyonce, and James Corden also getting their own dolls. 

Originally running from 1984 to 1996, Spitting Image became known for its edgy satirical look at news of the time, and has since been considered a comedy classic. 

At the height of its success, the show brought in 15million people per episode.

Spitting Image will return later this year on BritBox.
