David Walliams parties with ‘close friend’ Kate Beckinsale again as he joins her at her birthday celebrations with Dale Winton
The comedian and the actress were back at their favourite London restaurant
THEY might be nothing more than good friends, but David Walliams and Kate Beckinsale are certainly enjoying each other’s company of late.
Just days after they were seen having a cosy dinner outside Scott’s, one of their favourite London restaurants, the pair were back there again last night to celebrate her 43rd birthday.
But this time they weren't alone as they were joined by good friend Dale Winton, her mother Judy Loe and stepfather Roy Battersby.
Kate looked pretty in a short white dress which she covered with a long peach jacket and teamed with towering gold heels.
And she greeted Supermarket Sweep legend Dale Winton, 61, with a huge bear hug as they met outside the restaurant.
Dale was accompanied by Walliams, 44, who looked smart in a grey checked suit and light blue shirt.
And Kate had clearly had a good night as she left the restaurant arm in arm with her director stepfather clutching an armful of presents including a piece of homemade art.
Kate and David were seen together earlier in the week as they cosied up outside the same eatery as they shared a table outside.
At one point, Kate was seen leaning into the Britain’s Got Talent judge as they shared a joke, but she has since insisted that they are nothing more than friends.

Taking to her Twitter page, she said: “This is my dear friend, @davidwalliams. If I ever see him naked I will immediately tattoo a [aubergine emohi] on my face for clarity.”
“Until that appears, everyone can relax and know we are friends, as we have been for the last 2000 years. Ps The size of the tattoo is unlikely to be actual size. As far as I know.”
He then retweeted but didn’t comment although during an interview in 2009, he referred to her as his “ideal woman.”
He said: “There’s a couple of girls I know and they are amazing, so much fun, and they’re so amusing and naughty and beautiful.
“One’s Kate Beckinsale, that I’ve known for a really long time, since before she was well known, and Natalie Imbruglia as well. When I’m with them I turn to jelly because they’re so exciting to be with, but neither of them would ever go out with me, so I can’t.”
