No stranger to cross-dressing, Little Britain star David Walliams took to the streets in a cocktail dress to promote his new book.

The comedian teamed his off-the-shoulder gown with high heels and a black fascinator, as he hailed a cab in London's Bond Street.

Walliams, who dresses up as "laydee" Emily Howard in the cult BBC comedy, has written a children's story called The Boy In The Dress.

He said the book, illustrated by Quentin Blake, is a "thought-provoking" tale about a young boy whose life changes "dramatically" after he finds he enjoys wearing a dress.

Posing for a magazine shoot, Walliams looked every inch the lady - until he turned round and revealed he had failed to zip up his dress.

His children's book is due to be published in October.
