His hairy arms and large hands might blow his cover but David Walliams tried his best at impersonating Pippa Middleton in his latest photo shoot.

The Little Britain star slipped into a copy of the white silk bridesmaid dress that made the nation obsessed with Pippa's pert rear at the Royal Wedding.

Despite being 6ft 3in, David wasn't letting that deter him from trying to get a taste of Pippa's popularity.

Is that you Pippa? No, it's David Walliams dressing up as the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge on her wedding day

David might not have been at the Royal Wedding but he said of it: 'It did create a star, didn't it?

'Pippa Middleton. She looked great in her dress and the next day she was an international superstar. And we've never heard her say anything!' He told Heat Magazine.

David watched the wedding on TV from the US and said that he cried, mainly because he kept thinking about how sad it was that Prince William's mother couldn't be there.

The 39-year-old comedian, who is married to model Lara Stone, was looking in great shape in the mock dress though, which has been down to his training for Sport Relief challenge.

Walliams will be swimming the River Thames for 200 miles for the charity, but will have breaks for sleeping and eating along the way.

During his interview with the magazine, he also spoke about being approached to be a judge on Britain's Got Talent.

He revealed: 'I think a lot of people were probably approached to see if they were interested and I did have a conversation with Simon Cowell about it, but the dates were never going to work.'

The funny man added: 'I think I'd like to be a judge eventually, if I could have the seat next to Simon.

'That would be my condition. I'd like to be in the Cheryl Cole seat. He usually has the person he fancies sitting next to him. But I actually don't know if I could judge people's talent.

'I don't know if I've got enough talent myself. I think I'd find it hard to say no to people.

'Simon didn't ever need to be liked, whereas as a performer generally wants the approval of the public, especially if you're a comedian.'

Lovely David :-)!!

LOL!! That's hilarious!!!

I think David looks better in the dress then she does! Fed up with hearing about this nobody who is related to someone that's married into the Royal Family...we didn't have any of this when Sophie Rhys Jones married Edward!

So when you've run out of stories on Pippa, you'll cover a story about someone pretending to be Pippa. Well done. Im waiting for the story on what some girl in the middle of Doncaster who is friends with someone who once knew Pippa is up to.

That man creeps me out, ugh.
