The broadcaster is removing the comedy series while it reviews other Walliams programs after allegations of exploitative sexual activity with girls and young women.
- On Tuesday, the BBC confirmed it is removing content featuring David Walliams from its platforms following the publication of serious allegations, including the controversial sitcom Little Britain.
