David Walliams: 'I got turned down by every member of Girls Aloud'

British television star David Walliams has joked that back when Girls Aloud burst onto the scene, he asked music mogul Louis Walsh to set him up with any one of the five members and was disappointed to learn that they all turned him down. 

During an interview on the Comic Relief edition of 'The Graham Norton Show', the star explained that he was unfortunately rejected by Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Kimberley Walsh, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Nadine Coyle:

"When Girls Aloud came along I met Louis Walsh and asked him if any of the girls were single and he said he would ask. I thought he would do that discreetly, but he called a meeting of all of them and asked, 'Do any of you want to go out with David Walliams?' It was a no. And that was the end of that."

Girls Aloud's 'Call The Shots' was recently named the most underrated song by a girl group of all time by America's Billboard magazine and it beat the likes of 'Love Thing' by the Spice Girls and TLC's 'I'm Good at Being Bad'.
