David Walliams and Lara Stone set to divorce next month says pal 
 
The celebrity couple are said to be "devastated" they've not been able to 
make it work after five years of marriage.
 
They agreed to a “trial separation” but Lara Stone is set to serve David 
Walliams with divorce papers next month.
 
The supermodel has told friends “she is never going back” and is set to 
finalise their split in the coming weeks, according to Dutch reports.
 
Poor David will be heartbroken – as he had desperately tried to save their 
five-year marriage.
 
A friend says: “Lara has no intention of returning and will sign her divorce 
papers soon. She has been telling people she is never going back. As far as 
she is concerned the marriage is finished. They’re both devastated that they 
haven’t been able to make it work.”
 
Britain’s Got Talent judge David, 43, and Lara decided to separate earlier 
this month. They have two-year-old son, Alfred together, and have told
 friends they want to do what is best for him.
 
The Dutch catwalk star, who is 12 years David’s junior, took Alfred and the 
couple’s dog Bert with her when she left their North London home. She has
 been holed up with friends in the capital after damaging her foot.
 
But funnyman David has been putting on a brave face by continuing with his 
hectic work schedule. He will return to our screens next month for BGT and 
has already signed up for series 10.
 
David – who has previously suffered with depression – surrounding himself 
with friends including fellow comedy star Catherine Tate, 46.
 
A source tells us: “David has been trying to keep busy as much as possible, he is 
trying to not let this get the better of him. He often invites friends to the cinema 
and is making sure he doesn’t have too much time on his own. One person who 
has really been there for him is Catherine. She split with her partner who she 
has a child with and she knows what David is going through.”
 
Last night representative for David and Lara declined to comment.
