David Walliams visits Birmingham Children's Hospital

David Walliams and Aston Villa players have visited Birmingham's Children Hospital to spread some festive cheer.

The author recently donated this year's royalties from his book The Midnight Gang to support the Virtual Reality Appeal.

The hospital hopes to use VR headsets to distract children while they undergo treatment, to reduce anxiety.

Players went with gifts and Walliams also dressed as Father Christmas during Monday's visit.
