And after he flashed a photo of the character on a large screen and the dads in the audience agreed, he shrieked gleefully: “You’re nodding your head there! You’ve had worse!” Walliams told the Yeovil Literary Festival that he started dressing up as women because he went to all-boys school and there were no girls for the female roles in plays.
He revealed: “None of the boys wanted to play the girls’ parts in the plays... apart from me. When I was 11-years-old, there was a part of The Queen going in this little operetta my school was putting on.
“The boy who was meant to play her dropped out because he couldn’t deal with the embarrassment but the teacher saw something of The Queen in me and I got to play the role and I had the time of my life.”
