The award-winning comedienne, best-known as one of the creators of the sitcom Spaced, said: "I went on a date with him and he was quite boring. He ended up going out with my friend... he bought me some smarties."

The revelations are unlikely to bother David, who has been regularly photographed with well-known beauties.

Jessica, who most recently starred in the British romantic comedy Confetti and is set to appear in Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, revealed her romantic history when she appeared on the Russell Brand’s Got Issues show.

She added that she once stole her friend’s brother’s pillowcase because she had a crush on her friend, adding: "I was 16. I was in the house of a very good friend. A boy I had had a crush on for five years had slept over in my friend’s brother’s bedroom so I stole the pillowcase..."

Biography

Born on August 20 1971 to an engineer and a lab technician, David Walliams (born Williams, he changed his name for equity purposes) was educated at Reigate Grammar School before heading to the University of Bristol to study Drama. It was here that he met fellow funnyman Matt Lucas.

Following a few unnoticed stints on television Walliams hooked up with Lucas (who was making a name for himself as George Dawes alonside Vic Reeves) to create the hilarious, but little known, Rock Profile in which they sent up famous pop stars including Elton John, Robbie Williams and the BeeGees. They also put together Sir Bernard’s Stately Homes and appeared in the Fat Les video for Vindaloo.

However it was Little Britain which would make Walliams a household name. The show which saw him dressed as a ’rubbish transvestite’ and playing a camp ministerial aide would not only put Walliams on the comedy map but on the tabloid one too. Despite being spotted with several sexy blondes, among them Abi Titmuss, Walliams’ sexuality is regularly questioned by the red tops.
