Britain’s Got Talent may have been postponed this year, but judge David Walliams, 49, has plenty to keep him occupied. The comic is busy writing the next in his line of popular children’s stories, has musical and movie adaptations of his books in the works, and has been filming several TV shows, too. It marks another successful year for the man who burst onto our TV screens alongside Matt Lucas in Little Britain in the early noughties.
When he’s not capturing the imaginations of the nation’s children, David tells us he loves nothing more than reading with his own son, Alfred, seven, who he shares with ex-wife Lara Stone.
Here, David tells OK! his favourite things about fatherhood, discusses his latest charity project and explains why his mum won’t be baking for Simon Cowell again...
Hi David, how have you found this year?
I’ve just been trying to be in the moment and not think about the future. And the moment for me was spending time with my son and homeschooling. And we managed to video call my mum every day, which was good.
What are you looking forward to when things open up?
I miss having something to put a suit on for. I like getting dressed up and going out for dinner. I’ve got a date in the diary though, I’m taking Mum to the ballet!
How did you cope with homeschooling?
