David Walliams has reportedly set his sights on a romance with Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts.

According to The Sun, the Britain’s Got Talent star, 48, is believed to have split from celebrity make-up artist and the late Caroline Flack’s best friend, Lou Teasdale, earlier this year following a brief romance.

A source has claimed the comedian has since reached out to the Heart Breakfast presenter, 38, and hopes to date her once the coronavirus lockdown is lifted.

An insider told the publication: ‘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.

‘One of the women he has messaged [since his split] is Ashley. He thinks she’s gorgeous. He’s sent a couple of flirty messages and hopes to take her out once lockdown is over.’

David, who previously revealed he ‘wouldn’t rule out’ a same-sex relationship in the future, also dated Made In Chelsea’s Ashley James shortly after his divorce.

American singer Ashley was in a romance with professional dancer Giovanni Pernice for 14 months after the pair met on Strictly Come Dancing.

The pair, who took months to confirm their relationship at the time, announced their split in January, when they insisted they ‘remain friends’.

During the height of her fame with her girl group The Pussycat Dolls, the Buttons hitmaker dated fellow dancer Kenny Wormald from 2003 until 2009. 

The songstress has been juggling her career as a radio host with her girl band reunion with Jessica Sutta, Kimberly Wyatt, Nicole Scherzinger and Carmit Bachar.

They have been forced to cancel their hotly-anticipated tour as a result of coronavirus, with the chart-topping artists expected to take to the stage in October instead.
