David Walliams stuns in pink dress as he transforms into Amanda Holden ahead of NTAs

David Walliams is bringing the perfect dose of comedy into this year's National Television Awards as the comedian has already kicked off the jokes ahead of tonight's awards.

The funnyman, 48, filmed the opening sequence for tonight's ceremony - which he is set to host - and it seems as though he took some fashion pointers from his fellow BGT judges.

Known as a chameleon when it comes to onscreen role, David didn't disappoint in this hilarious skit, which features him dressed up as Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell.

Dazzling in a pink glitter dress, David even went the extra mile and donned a blonde wig - similar to the hairstyle Amanda usually rocks.

David paired his look with pearl jewels and makeup - his lipstick even matched the hue of the dress.

But the former Little Britain star did not stop there - as he even switched out his usual wardrobe for that of Simon Cowell's.

Transforming into the head judge, David unbuttoned his shirt and put on blacked-out aviators as part of the skit.

He even wore a wig that looks like Simon's hair and a watch similar to the one the head judge wears.

David will present this year's awards ceremony after Dermot O'Leary has consistently presented each year from The O2 Arena since 2010 after taking over from Trevor McDonald.

Walliams will now present the 25th anniversary show and he is no stranger to the celebrations, having won the  NTA for Best Judge three times.

In 2012, David also won the NTA's Landmark Achievement Award, which celebrated the star's TV and charity successes.

He revealed he was excited to take on the new presenting role, saying: "I am thrilled to be the new host of the   NTAs  - and will ensure I also win them all."

In addition to hosting the ceremony, David is also nominated in the TV Judge and Best Talent categories.
