David Walliams has explained that he is releasing free audio stories daily so children will have an alternative to the park during the coronavirus epidemic.
On Monday the author and TV star, 48, announced he was giving away 30 free recordings from his World’s Worst Children series, with each instalment arriving at 11am each day.
The news came during the first week of home-schooling for many parents, following the closure of classrooms to the majority of pupils due to the outbreak.
Appearing on Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, he said he was spending his time in self-isolation writing more children’s books.
