David Walliams has reportedly met up with kidnapped glamour model, Chloe Ayling.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge is thought to have organised a secret meet-up for the pair after meeting on social media.

The 46-year-old Little Britain star reportedly struck up contact by ‘liking’ a string of the 20-year-old’s Instagram posts, despite not following her.

A source told The Sun: “David orchestrated the meeting and arranged for her to visit his London home.

“He is intrigued by her story and has clearly taken a shine to her. It’s a case of waiting and seeing if their relationship grows from here.”

Walliams reportedly organised a meeting with Ayling ahead of her trip to Switzerland, which was arranged to give her a “break” ahead of the kidnapping trial, taking place in July.

Ayling claims she was drugged and held hostage for six days by a group named ‘Black Death’ after being lured to a fake modelling shoot in Milan by alleged kidnapper, Lukasz Pawel Herba.

Black Death has reportedly said it sells women as sex slaves online to buyers in the Middle East.

Ms Ayling's captors allegedly demanded £270,000 from her agent, but eventually agreed to accept £50,000, she said, although the money was never paid.

According to Ms Ayling, one of her kidnappers told her they had made a mistake in snatching her because she is the mother of a young child.

Herba was arrested after he released 20-year-old Ms Ayling at the British consulate in Milan, after allegedly having a change of heart.

Standard Online has contacted David Walliams’ representatives for a comment.
