David Walliams 'propositioned Ashley Roberts' after secret girlfriend split

Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams is hoping to take Nicole Scherzinger’s Pussycat Dolls bandmate Ashely Roberts on a date once lockdown is over, reports claim.

The Little Britain legend has apparently slid into Ashley’s direct messages on Instagram to try and win her over.

An insider said: “He started asking after a couple of women, and took to Instagram with a vengeance looking for suitable girlfriends.

“One of the women he has messaged is Ashley.

The source continued telling The Sun on Sunday: “He thinks she’s gorgeous. He’s sent a couple of flirty messages and hopes to take her out once lockdown is over.”

It’s not known if Ashley, 38, has replied to David, 48, or agreed to a post lockdown meet-up.

The paper goes to claim that at the start of the year David briefly dated Caroline Flack’s BFF and celebrity make-up artist Lou Teasdale.

The insider added: “David was really knocked after his painful split from Lara [Stone], but is very much looking for love now.

“He had a connection with Lou and they started dating in January.

“On paper, they’re a slightly incongruous couple, but they had a real giggle before David decided they weren’t a great fit and called time on things.”

David and supermodel Lara divorced five years ago but have a six-year-old son together called Alfred.

Meanwhile, Ashely, 38, became single in January after her romance with Strictly Come Dancing hunk Giovanni Pernice ran its course.

David is currently back on the small screen thanks to the return of BGT.

ITV are currently airing the pre-recorded live auditions, however, it is unknown as to when the show will be able to film the live finals.

While a date is yet to be decided, there will almost certainly be a gap between the pre recorded shows and the finals.

A representative for David Walliams has been contacted by Daily Star Online for comment.
