David Walliams named as celebrity who tried to block publication of sexual misconduct allegations
The judge said the public interest outweighed his privacy bid after reporters said they interviewed more than 100 people.
- 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.
- A three-year investigation by ITN and The Guardian into allegations of inappropriate sexual activities and grooming prompted the move, after Walliams' High Court injunction to block publication was denied last week.
- Denying all allegations, Walliams stated, 'I am not a sexual predator,' after his lawyers revealed two suicide attempts during the legal process.
- Production firm Fremantle UK shared it was 'disturbed and concerned' by the allegations, while HarperCollins previously dropped the author in December 2025 following claims of inappropriate behavior.
- Scenes from Little Britain were previously edited in 2020 following criticism of blackface portrayals during the Black Lives Matter movement, marking earlier scrutiny of the show.
