Joker Walliams is laughing all way to the bank

- ■ EXCLUSIVE by ED GLEAVE

BRITAIN’S Got Talent judge David Walliams is set for a £2million property payday.

The TV comic, 46, is selling his three-bedroom home after 13 years.

When he bought the property in 2005 he paid £3.25million.

But it is on the market with estate agent Marcus Parfitt for a whopping £5.35million – which means he’s on course to make a £2.1m profit.

David was living at the “family” home when he was married to model Lara Stone. They have since divorced.

The pad in north London’s Belsize Park was owned by Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher in the 1990s.

It was nicknamed Supernova Heights because of all the partying that took place there.

It boasts a stunning garden, roof terrace and off-street parking, while the stylish living area has floor-to-ceiling windows.

An advert on property website Zoopla says: “An exceptiona­l architectu­ral masterpiec­e lies behind the traditiona­l Victorian facade of this attractive period family home.”

Little Britain star David has made a series of changes to the home, boosting its value.

He removed some ceilings and floors to create double and triple-storey areas as well as overhaulin­g the interior. The neighbourh­ood is a favourite with big-name stars. Celebs who live nearby include Kate Moss, Boy George and Jonathan Ross.

It is also close to trendy Primrose Hill which is famed for its A-List residents.

David hardly needs the money – his net worth is already estimated to be £25million.

It is thought he netted around £1million judging on the latest run of Britain’s Got Talent, which finished last week.

And he has starred in TV’s Little Britain, Come Fly With Me and Big School.

He has also made millions from his children’s books, selling more than 12million copies of his novels worldwide.

Earlier this month, the Daily Star Sunday revealed that David was under fire for signing a lucrative deal to front a BGT gambling website.

The move was slammed by fans online, while gambling addiction expert Liz Karter said: “David doing this means the site could potentiall­y appeal to children. In a way, it gives gambling a softer image. “Because David is a children’s author this could give the feeling of gambling being an innocent pastime – which of course it can be, but it can also lead to addiction.”
