David Walliams soaks up the sun as he relaxes with a mystery female friend during summer break in St Tropez

He has been spending the last few months at home in London

But David Walliams traded the English capital for the south of France during a much needed post-lockdown getaway in St Tropez on Sunday. 

The comedian, 48, was accompanied by a female friend in the French hotspot as he enjoyed the glorious weather from the harbour.

The comedian rocked a silver beard which he has been growing in recent months. 

He decided to keep a low profile in a plain black t-shirt and coffee-coloured shorts, he also had a camera hanging from around his neck to take some snapshots of the picturesque location. 

The versatile star was seen squinting at his phone with his female pal, who appeared surprised at whatever she was looking at on his screen.

At a later point in the day, she perched on the edge of the jetty with David stood alongside her. 

She looked effortlessly chic in floral shorts and a floral crop top as the pair looked completely relaxed during their European break.

The Britain’s Got Talent star is understood to have split from celebrity make-up artist Lou Teasdale, earlier this year following a brief romance, reports The Sun.

A source has claimed the comedian has since reached out to Pussycat Dolls star Ashley Roberts, 38.

An insider told the publication: ‘David was really knocked after his painful split from Lara [Stone], but is very much looking for love now. 

‘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.’

MailOnline have contacted representatives for David and Ashley for further comment.
