David Walliams will not be attending today's Britain's Got Talent launch.
The judge is away on holiday with his family.
A BGT spokesman confirmed: "David will be not be attending the press launch as he will be away. This is a pre-existing engagement which was booked before the date of the launch was set."
Reports in early March alleged that David and his model wife, Lara Stone, were "on a break".
But neither Walliams nor Stone's representatives have confirmed this.
The couple wed in 2010 and had their first child together - a boy called Alfred - in May 2013.
In an interview in the run-up to BGT starting, David revealed he stopped one audition to phone a friend - actress Sheridan Smith - after a magician said he wanted to cut her in half for his act.
Walliams said: "A gentleman came on stage called John, a magician. He was very entertaining and his dream woman was Sheridan Smith. He really wanted to saw Sheridan in half.
"Having worked with Sheridan on a play, I can understand what he was saying. We are very good pals so I phoned Sheridan and she spoke to John.
"I'm hoping that one day we can bring the two together and make a dream come true, at least for John."
Britain's Got Talent returns on Saturday (April 11) at 8pm on ITV.
