Alex had just returned from school and was watching The Simpsons in her bedroom when the phone rang. She distinctly recalls the first thing he said. "Hi, it's David Walliams. You know, off the telly!" It was January 2004. Alex was 15 and studying for her GCSEs. Walliams was 32 and a rising star with the comedy sketch show Little Britain.
A few days earlier, Alex had been to a fan event where Walliams had signed autographs as his character Lou. Wearing a frizzy wig and a black leather jacket, he looked up at Alex as her mother took a photograph. As she approached Walliams, Alex remembers him saying: "You're a very attractive lady."
