A rubber caricature of US President Donald Trump designed by one of the creators of satirical TV show Spitting Image is to go on display, BBC reports.

The show's co-creator Roger Law said he was approached by US network NBC about rebooting the show.

The American spin-off is expected to be penned by US writers, although the puppets will be made in the UK.

Law's Trump puppet will go on display in Norwich as part of a retrospective of the artist's work.

On Trump getting the Spitting Image treatment, Mr Law said: "I am a reformed old gentleman but I get very angry about things.

"It's puppets, not people so you can get away with murder."

Asked if he thought the US leader would post a critique about his puppet parody, Law said: "That'll get a few more viewers... He spends six hours a day watching television so of course he'll watch it."

Roger Law created Spitting Image in the 1980s alongside Peter Fluck and Martin Lambie-Nairn.
