David Walliams Accused of Grooming Teen Girls for Sex

Skip to content The English comedian, author and TV personality had sought an injunction to prevent publication of the allegations, arguing it was “highly likely” he would harm himself November 10, 2026 @ 6:20 AM David Walliams (Getty Images) David Walliams has been outed as the mysterious celebrity seeking an injunction to keep allegations of sexual misconduct private for fear that he may harm himself. The “Britain’s Got Talent” host, comedian, author and TV personality is accused by multiple women of “using his power and position as a celebrity to prey on them for sexual purposes when they were teenagers or young women,” an investigation by The Guardian and ITV published Tuesday reports. While the investigation says most of the women who accused Walliams of misconduct were over the age of 18, one woman says she was 15 when Walliams “invited her to his house and initiated sexual contact.” Several of the women who contributed to the investigation have asked to go by pseudonyms in order to protect their anonymity. Several sources also allege misconduct at his publisher HarperCollins UK, which dropped him as a client in 2025 following an investigation into alleged inappropriate behavior and staff harassment. Sources have also described inappropriate behavior towards women on the set of “Britain’s Got Talent,” which Walliams judged from 2012 t0 2022. He was dropped from the show after a Guardian report revealed that Walliams made derogatory and sexually explicit remarks about contestants. Walliams denies any wrongdoing. His representatives have not yet responded to TheWrap’s request for comment. The investigation’s publication comes after Walliams sought an injunction against The Guardian and ITV to not publish his identity for fear it was “highly likely” he would commit suicide. News of the injunction request broke last week, but the identity of the person seeking it was not revealed until Tuesday. More to come…
