David Walliams is no stranger to cross-dressing, having appeared in
many frou frou dresses to play Eddie 'Emily' Howard in Little Britain.

And now the comedian has taken his love for ladies' clothes one step
further as he poses in a high fashion shoot for a magazine.

I'm really not sure what to make of this since it's done purely as a publicity stunt to promote his children's book. Although I do hope the book will be recieved well and maybe open a few young people's minds. He seems to hope so, too.

Describing his opinion of cross-dressing, David said: 'I didn't want it to be seen purely as a metaphor for that, but... the truth about... transvestites.

'The truth is that it doesn't really mean you're gay. As anyone who has watched Kilroy, and seen transvestite truckers and soldiers being interviewed next to their long-suffering wives, will know.'

As for the pictures... hmmm... I think they were done very deliberately, like with the unshaven legs and lack of makeup etc, maybe to avoid comparisons being made to Eddie Izzard.
