Jonathan Ross is lending his voice talents to Disney XD's number one show, Phineas and Ferb.

The TV presenter is a well-known animation fan who collects comic books, so he was delighted to be offered the chance to star in the cartoon.

He said: “I am a huge fan of Phineas and Ferb, and so are my teenage kids, so I absolutely jumped at the chance to be part of such a brilliant and well-written comedy series. It’s a show that both adults and kids of all ages can enjoy together and I can’t wait for everyone to see my episode.”

Ross has been cast as an antique dealer but he is not the first celeb to appear in the award-winning show. Ben Stiller, Michael J. Fox, Selena Gomez, and David Beckham have also featured.

Ross' episode will air in the UK early 2013.
