David Walliams, the former Britain’s Got Talent judge and comedian, is facing a police investigation over allegations of sexual misconduct. According to reports, he is accused of grooming and sexually assaulting a 15-year-old schoolgirl. The allegations emerged after a broader investigation by The Guardian and ITV News, which named Walliams as part of its probe into multiple claims against him. The comedian, known for his role in *Little Britain*, has denied the accusations, calling them “baseless.”
A former employee claims she overheard Walliams using a derogatory nickname for a colleague during his time on *Britain’s Got Talent*, from 2012 to 2022. This incident reportedly left staff feeling uncomfortable. The claim adds to a growing list of allegations against the entertainer, including claims of inappropriate behavior with women and teenagers.
The investigation into Walliams began after a series of allegations surfaced, some of which date back years. In 2004, comedian Jonathan Ross made a joke about 15-year-olds, referencing Walliams, which was later seen as unsettling. The current probe is part of a wider effort to address sexual misconduct in the entertainment industry.
Walliams, a best-selling children’s author, has faced scrutiny over his public persona and alleged exploitation of his celebrity status. The police investigation is ongoing, and no charges have been filed yet. The case highlights increasing public and media attention to allegations of misconduct by public figures, particularly those in entertainment.
