David Walliams has shared a hilarious clip from the live-action adaptation of Gangsta Granny starring Miranda Hart, as the show hits BBC iPlayer.

Proud of her costume creations, Miranda can be seen announcing the hilarious and flamboyant outfits styled by Ben, including “the love bomb”, “Quality Street” and “Brian Cox’s Wonders of the Solar System”.

The final outfit titled “The Great British Bake Off” has Ben dressed as a cupcake, wearing a red hat resonating a cherry, to which Walliams adds, “the recipe of success.”

Unamused by all the extravagance, a reluctant Ben asks “can’t I just wear jeans and t-shirt?”

Instagram users took the comments to share their love for the film, as well as posting a large number of laughing emojis. One commenter said, “that quality street costume reminded me of my mum dressing me up as a liquorice allsorts for a fancy dress comp… I didn’t win” - clearly a relatable childhood experience for many.

The film was originally released back in 2013 and is now available for fans to watch on BBC iPlayer.

The recent news comes as the comedy fiction celebrates its 10th anniversary. The limited 10th anniversary edition of the original book was released in September.

Walliams also wrote and announced his first ever sequel this year with Gangsta Granny Strikes Again! The new book, which has already reached number one in the UK, was published on November 16, along with an e-book and audio editions.

The author took to Instagram last week to share how delighted he was whilst further adding, “thank you so much to all my fantastic readers for making this happen!”
