Jonathan Ross Breaks Silence on David Walliams Allegations

The 2004 British Comedy Awards clip has drawn fresh scrutiny as ITV and The Guardian report new assault and harassment allegations against David Walliams.

  • On Tuesday, David Walliams, 55, was identified as the celebrity who lost a High Court bid to suppress sexual misconduct allegations published by ITV News and The Guardian.
  • Footage from the 2004 British Comedy Awards resurfaced, showing host Jonathan Ross joking the event was 'probably going home with David Walliams,' a remark Ross later called 'a tasteless joke.'
  • One accuser, known by pseudonym Jade, alleged Walliams committed sexual assault when she was 15 and he was 36; she claimed he groomed her from that age.
  • Independent Talent Group dropped the former 'Little Britain' star Tuesday; The Metropolitan Police urged potential victims to report allegations by calling 101, referencing file 4900/10NOV26.
  • Walliams denied abusing his power in a letter to investigators; the BBC removed 'Little Britain' from iPlayer and Alton Towers closed a section dedicated to his works.
