David Walliams confirms stolen fan mail has been returned – and he’s already replied to it all

David Walliams has had his stolen letters returned to him by the police.

Earlier this week the children’s author took to Twitter to apologise to fans after his post was stolen, letting them know that if they’d written to him and hadn’t heard back, it was because he hadn’t been able to read their letter.

The @metpoliceuk just told me my post was stolen, including a large box of letters from children that had been sent via @HarperCollins (1)

But now, thanks to the Metropolitan Police, Walliams has got his fan mail back and says he’s replied to it all.

The @metpoliceuk kindly returned a number of children's letters to me that had been stolen in December & I have now replied to them all.
