Kildare actress and comedian Aisling Bea is set to star in a new Netflix comedy alongside well-known Hollywood actor Paul Rudd.

Bea will be a co-star in Living With Yourself alongside Rudd, best known for his role as 'Mike' in Friends along with numerous movie parts.

Bea, who is a constant on hit Channel 4 comedy 8 out of 10 Cats, expressed her delight on social media at the new role.

"I am very, very, very excited and I have had to have a lie down on my foam roller," she said.

The show will debut on the online platform this week, while she is set to feature in an RTE show called Finding Joy later this year.
