David Walliams accused of targeting teens as young as 15

David Walliams has been a staple on British TV for more than 20 years, featuring on shows like Little Britain, Come Fly With Me, and Britain's Got Talent - but multiple women have accused the comedian of targeting them for sex when they were teenagers, after a three-year-long joint investigation by ITV News and The Guardian. Warning: This video contains distressing details that some viewers may find upsetting. In this full-length documentary, we speak to multiple women who say the TV personality and author abused his power as a celebrity to make contact with them when they were teens or young women to pursue them for sexual purposes, including one woman who describes her encounter with Walliams at age 15 as a “sexual assault”. Three of the women feel Walliams "groomed" them. Walliams is also one of the UK's most famous authors, known for writing children’s books such as Gansta Granny and Billionaire Boy. In 2025 he was dropped by his publisher HarperCollins after separate allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women in the workplace. David Walliams denies all allegations of wrongdoing against him, including criminal activity. He says claims he targeted teenage women - and used his celebrity status to manipulate them to have sex with him - are false. He says he has never engaged in the grooming of young women. David Walliams rejects allegations he behaved inappropriately or sexually harassed anyone in the workplace. To contact us confidentially about this story, email investigations@itv.com.
