At the British Comedy Awards, in December 2004, host Jonathan Ross told the audience: “The Comedy Awards is 15 years old. 15 years old. And like all 15-year-olds, it’s drunk, it’s unpredictable and it’s probably going home with David Walliams.” FFS

Ross has already referenced this and stated he did not write the script for this.

It's true that presenters of televised awards very rarely write what's on the autocue. However, he could probably have refused to say it (assuming he pre-read every link which, I have to say, isn't always the case at awards ceremonies, but usually they do).

Who is David Walliams?

Embarrassing

If anyone is interested he’s selling up his house https://www.reddit.com/r/SpottedonRightmove/s/RAoUaLsrFR

I like it. I'd change a few few things. All I need now is for him to knock a couple of zeros of the end!!

He has denied it, quite strenuously, are people just posting without reading it or something?

Show quote history

Well of course he has denied it.🙄

Russell Brand denied it.
They all deny it.

How do you know what he did?

Show quote history

I'm saying there are currently no reports in any media that allege he has had sex with a 15-year old girl, yet a poster said on another thread "apparently he had sex with a 15-year old girl".

For obvious legal reasons, stating things that aren't reported right now is not sensible (if nothing else, MNHQ pulling these threads).

Things MAY come out later or they may not, but at present there are no such allegations.

But on what? What are people thinking He is going to court for and will be sentenced like brand?

fhere is only one thing in the articles and that’s kissing a fifteen year olds breast, nothing else is actually illegal,

Show quote history

That is sexual activity with a minor and is definitely a criminal offence in the UK.

Another thread states that he allegedly had sex with a 15-yr old which isn't true at all.

I'm not defending him, he's a sleaze, but it's important to stick to what is actually being reported for obvious reasons.

I’m not sure I agree with this, the decision was not made in the court of social media, what you or I think was not taken into account, it was simply a legal perspective, which was answered by a judge, legally. It wasn’t about if you or I cared.

Just as well.

Well done for trying to do something about it @DancingonmyOwn88 .

Your experience sums up so many people who were working around Walliams, Brand, Harris, Saville etc. It's "known" in the sense that people are wary, it's an open secret etc. But only the people at the top have any ability to stop it - such is the power of the "talent"...

Show quote history

I work in social care. I have a legal responsibility to report Safeguarding concerns. All these people in the media who knew for years Walliams was targetting 15 years and said nothing.... complicit? Brand's entourage who knew he was abusive... complicit in their silence? How do we change this? I'm sickened by these men.

Not really. He has made several attempts at self deletion according to the press.

What shouts out to me is no one, from what I've seen, is condemning him for saying he'll kill himself if he doesn't get protected.

Oh here? Masses of people have said that.

I don’t think he’ll be able to handle the fall from grace. Too egotistical. I reckon he’ll find his own way out by the end of the week leaving his ex-wife to pick up the pieces with their son.

That's a very bold statement.

He now wants protection from the media and says he will kill himself if his behaviour is exposed. He's NOT denying it though! Speaks volumes.

CrazyMidget · 10/11/2026 13:43

Urgh, just reading the regular news these days makes me feel mucky, there's so much about vile sexual predators.

Companies put up with them and employ them because they make so much money from them. That's why Stoke Mandeville let Savile roam the hospital so much and turned a blind eye to what he was doing - because he raised millions for them each year.
