AUTHOR and comedian David Walliams posted a Youtube video thanking children in St Helens for making his children’s book an award winner.

More than 500 children across St Helens took part in the BASH project (Book Awards St Helens).

They read six books before voting for the winner.

David Walliams 'Ratburger' was the clear winner.

The Little Britain star who is seen in the video holding his winning certificate told them that they made a wise choice “because he would have voted for it too.”
