The movie, based on his children’s book of the same name, stars Walliams alongside Taika Waititi and Mia Wasikowska. But now Sky has revealed that it will be pulling out, following bombshell allegations against the former Britain’s Got Talent star, 55, published by The Guardian and ITV. The broadcast network told Metro: ‘The allegations made against David Walliams are extremely serious. ‘We have notified the producers of the film of our intention to exit our position as the UK & Ireland licensee of Fing!’ ‘We have already removed content which features him from our platforms.’ Fing! had already premiered at Sundance (Picture: Angel) The BBC similarly removed shows involving Walliams today, including Little Britain, Gangsta Grann and an episode of Doctor Who he starred in. Walliams was publicly accused on Tuesday of exploiting his status as a celebrity TV personality to prey on women and teenagers. The Guardian and ITV News spoke with 30 people who described alleged instances of sexual misconduct and harassment in the workplace One woman claimed she was as young as 15 when Walliams kissed her and ‘sucked on her breast’. Walliams agreed to stop after she pulled away, telling her, ‘we should wait until I’m 16, and then said to keep in contact,’ she told The Guardian. Another woman told ITV News she met Walliams when she was 15 and had sex with him when she was 17. Little Britain was also chopped by the BBC (Picture: BBC) Walliams has denied the allegations, saying he ‘behaved thoughtlessly towards other people I had casual sexual relationships with’. ‘I am not a sexual predator. I have not broken the law,’ he added. Walliams sought a High Court injunction, a strict anonymity order that bars the identification of an individual, to keep the accusations private. During a two-day court hearing in October, Walliams was referred to using a court-ordered cypher, ‘PPT’.
