David Walliams has revealed his mother does not allow him to watch any programmes on ITV, despite his role as a judge on Britain's Got Talent.
The former Little Britain star, 47, guest edited the new issue of Radio Times where he reflected on his love of TV and recalled his mother Kathleen did not let him watch it as a child.
He said: 'Apparently ITV was common. She still doesn’t allow me to watch it – I’ve never actually seen Britain’s Got Talent. I hear it’s quite good.'

Recalling some of his favourite shows from his younger days, David recalled being envious of the children he saw in the audience of shows like Crackerjack!, a BBC series that aired from 1955 to 1984.
He said: 'It was brutally unfair that they were on TV and I was not. And now I am.
'But I remember thinking, when Matt Lucas and I became well known, that I would have loved to go on one of those Saturday-morning shows – Going Live! with Phillip Schofield or SM:TV with Ant and Dec – but they were all ending, or had ended.
David is currently filming for this year's series of Britain's Got Talent where he will rejoin his co-judges Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell on the panel.
