David Walliams serious stomach bug. David Walliams is famed for being one half of the hit comedy duo behind 'Little Britain' and he's been using his celebrity status for good cause- to help charity.In a bid to raise serious funds for Comic Relief, David has donned his Speedos and cap once more to swim The Thames from Gloucestershire to Big Ben in London over eight days. *EUW*

The comedian knew there would be risks involved when being immersed in the filthy river but he is now paying the price of his good deed and is suffering with severe vomiting and diarrhea.

While his wife, Lara Stone hit the GQ Man of the Year Awards last night, David was resting up with a high temperature and very dodgy tummy.

As he battles the torrents and pollution of the capital's river over several stints, you'd have thought David's motivation would be pretty low after constantly throwing up, but that's just not the case:

"When I heard the total raised had jumped to more than £200,000 it gave me a real boost,as do the thousands of people who have been turning out and cheering," said David.

There were so many last night I thought Take That were in a boat behind me.

"This is already much harder than I thought it would be - but this Thames Tummy I've got is making the task seem incredibly difficult and London seems a long way away."

David has contracted a stomach bug and as a result has a high temperature and is struggling to maintain a strong pace as he swims.
