David Walliams cosies up to ‘ideal woman’ Kate Beckinsale during date night
The single pair appeared closer than ever following their night at Scotts in Mayfair
DAVID Walliams and Kate Beckinsale looked closer than ever during a cosy dinner date in London on Friday night.
The single pair, who have been friends for decades, were seen in fits of giggles at Scotts restaurant in Mayfair – where the actress, 42, was pictured physically holding on to the 44-year-old comedian.
Despite their friendship status, David has made no secret of his crush on the stunning actress in the past.
Back in February 2009, David admitted that he "turns to jelly" when he's around Kate in a candid interview about his sexuality and love life.
When asked who would be his ideal woman, the Little Britain star replied: "There's a couple of girls I know and they are amazing, so much fun, and they're so amusing and naughty and beautiful."
"One's Kate Beckinsale, that I've known for a really long time, since before she was well known, and Natalie Imbruglia as well. When I'm with them I turn to jelly because they're so exciting to be with, but neither of them would ever go out with me, so I can't."
Following David’s divorce from wife Lara Stone last year and Kate’s “split” from husband Len Wiseman in November after 11 years together – the pair are notably both single and free to enjoy themselves.
Bouncing back from her split, single Kate has created her own “girl squad” that’d rival the likes of Taylor Swift’s A-list group.
And one of the ladies leading her new circle is Olympic skiing superstar Lindsey Vonn, who told Access Hollywood Live: “We met at the Billboard Music Awards and she’s so cool and we hit it off.
"We’ve got a couple of our girlfriend’s and we just meet for dinners and have a great times… [Kate] is like the master of the squad.”
