Inbetweeners star Blake Harrison has ruled out the hit show ever returning.

The 32-year-old believes the sitcom's characters would now be too old to get away with some of their behaviour.

"I just don't think it would work, I think we're too old now," he said.

"I think the reason it was so funny was you had these idiotic, ignorant, lads that you let them get away with saying things that would be quite offensive but as they get older you can't excuse it, I think."

Fans were teased with a photo of Harrison, Simon Bird, James Buckley and Joe Thomas earlier this month.

Buckley, who plays Jay in the show tweeted: "Inbetweeners series 4 pre production meal."
