Walliams lands for surprise

David Walliams surprised the pupils at Flakefleet Primary School with an impromptu reading from his new children’s book – after arriving by helicopter.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge and children’s author used his golden buzzer to send the singing schoolchildren through to the live final during the first episode of this year’s series.

Walliams, 47, said he “couldn’t resist” paying them a visit to see how their preparations were coming along.

Walliams also offered the children a preview of his new book, The World’s Worst Teachers, reading to the school during an assembly.
