JC Lee continued: “He did listen to me and we have been working on a new character called Dirt Man.

“The last little angel that we’ve got tucked away is Dirt Man.

“I said, ‘Daddy, please – no clatter, no steel, no any of that. Let’s get down and dirty.’

She added: “And it is very interesting. It’s not over yet. We still have a little trickery.

TMZ asked: “Where is the project right now? Is it going to be made into a movie?”

She replied: “I hope so.”
