The BBC has removed the 2012 film adaptation of *Room On The Broom* from its iPlayer service. The film features David Walliams in the lead role. The decision follows allegations of sexual misconduct against the actor.
The removal was confirmed by the BBC, which stated it was conducting a review of all material featuring and written by Walliams on its platforms. The review was initiated earlier in the week. Multiple media outlets reported the removal, citing the ongoing investigation into Walliams.
The allegations against Walliams emerged after London police announced a criminal investigation into him over claims of sexual misconduct. The investigation is ongoing, and no formal charges have been filed. The BBC has not commented on the specific content of the allegations but has taken steps to remove the film from its platform.
The *Room On The Broom* film, based on a children's book by Julia Donaldson, was originally released in 2012. It was a popular children's animated film and featured Walliams as the lead character. The BBC's decision to remove the film reflects broader concerns about the handling of allegations against public figures.
The situation highlights the increasing scrutiny of public figures in the entertainment industry, particularly in light of recent high-profile cases. The BBC's actions are part of a wider trend of media outlets reviewing content linked to individuals under investigation.
