Matt Lucas has revealed that he will be the best man at David Walliams's wedding.

The actor denied rumours that the pair had grown apart and explained that his Little Britain co-star had helped him after the death of his ex-husband Kevin McGee last October.

"David's my soulmate," he told the News of the World. "He's my brother, honestly. He's been there every step of the way. He's never, ever let me down and I hope I've never him."

Lucas continued: "This isn't public knowledge but I'm going to be his best man at his wedding. This extends beyond being someone's professional partner. We've known each other 20 years this year."

Walliams announced his engagement to model Lara Stone earlier this year.
