Speaking of the hilarious incident on the Making A Scene podcast, the comedian told co-host Matt Lucas that the British leader “took it in good spirits”.
This occurred when Little Britain was peaking in popularity, with characters like Sebastian, an assistant with an infatuation with the PM, becoming beloved fixtures on our screens.
David Walliams speaks out about time he ‘flirted’ with a former Prime Minister
When David Williams asked which British Prime Minister he flirted with, Matt Lucas answered: “Tony Blair.”
Elaborating on this, Walliams said: “Tony Blair, yes, of course, I played a character in Little Britain, Sebastian, who was in love with the Prime Minister.
“It’s a little bit based on sort of Alastair Campbell or Peter Mandelson or something because he had these kinds of guys running around him, and Tony Blair, he was hot.”
He added: “I remember he was torso of the week in Heat Magazine or something like that. I don’t think it had ever happened before.
“And then we were at the Pride of Britain Awards, and he was there too, and we had a picture with him.”
