Watch Jonathan Ross joke about 'David Walliams and 15-year-old girls' in resurfaced clip

  • David Walliams has been revealed as the celebrity who took legal action to block two media organisations from publishing allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
  • Investigations by The Guardian and ITV include claims from a woman who said she was sexually assaulted by Walliams at age 15, while another said their relationship began when she was 17.
  • Walliams strongly denied being a sexual predator or breaking the law, though he acknowledged behaving thoughtlessly towards people in past casual relationships.
  • A 2004 video has resurfaced showing chat show host Jonathan Ross making a joke about 15-year-olds going home with Walliams at the British Comedy Awards.
  • Walliams was dropped by publisher HarperCollins in December 2025 following an investigation into harassment claims, and an attraction themed around his books recently closed at Alton Towers.
