That is something I regret.'And whilst a power imbalance is inevitable when one party is famous, abusing that power is something else entirely and it is something that I never did…'I am not a sexual predator… I have not broken the law… I am devastated that some of the women I met ten to twenty years ago have now expressed hurt or anger towards me.'Last month the High Court judge dismissed Walliams' bid to prevent the publication of the allegations but granted him permission to appeal and temporarily kept his identity secret. However, the comedian-and-writer missed a 4.30pm deadline on Monday to take the case to the Court of Appeal, meaning he can now be named.Walliams denies any wrongdoing and argued in the High Court that he would kill himself if his identity were revealed.

She alleges Walliams sexually assaulted her at Supernova Heights, the mansion once owned by Oasis star Noel Gallagher.'He asked me to come over and gave me a hug. That's when he kissed me,' Jade alleged of Walliams, who was 36 at the time.'He lifted my top up and sucked on my breast and then tried to put my hand down his trousers. That's when I pulled away and said, "No". He had an erection at the time,' she said.'I wasn't ready for sex. I didn't want to do that, with him or with anyone. I didn't want to be touched in that way at all. I mean, I was only 15.'She claimed she had confided in him that she had previously been sexually abused by someone else as a child, to which he responded: 'Sorry to hear that.'Jade said she considers what she alleges happened to her to have been 'sexual assault' and 'grooming', adding: 'It's completely wrong in every way.'Another woman, identified only as Alex, claims Walliams began contacting her when she was 15 and studying for her mock General Certificates of Secondary Education after meeting her at a Little Britain fan event where he was dressed as his character Lou.The moment they met was captured on camera. They began a sexual relationship around two years later, when she was 17.Asked how she feels about him now, she said: 'I want to vomit. I hate him. My body reacts when I think about it. It's like a trauma response. I think I was groomed. One hundred per cent.'Walliams launched a High Court bid to prevent the media reporting the allegations, prompting fevered speculation online about his identity.
