DAVID Walliams has revealed how Simon Cowell tried to set him up on a date with Sinitta.

The two men work closely together on Britain's Got Talent, and despite having previously dated the Toy Boy singer himself back in 1984, Simon had no qualms in trying to play matchmaker with his ex.

Speaking to Heat Magazine, David, 46, said: "Last time I saw him he was trying to fix me up with Sinitta, who's single now.

"Imagine if that happened? She'd have gone from Brad Pitt, to Simon Cowell, to me.

"That's a steep decline! What kind of woman would go out with us three?"

Before dating Simon, 58, Sinitta had enjoyed a romance with Brad Pitt, who was still a few years away from becoming the Hollywood A-lister he is today.

The 54-year-old has been single since her divorce from husband Andy Willner in 2010, while David resumed his eligible bachelor status after splitting from wife Lara Stone in 2015.

David admitted to Heat it was hard for the four judges to have personal conversations on the show sometimes, as the cameras are always filming.

He explained: "It's weird. You can have a nice gossip while you're getting your make-up done or something, and suddenly you notice the camera trained on you.

"The other day, someone asked me, 'David, do you think you'll ever get married again?'
