Quick extract of Lilly's testimony from the Guardian article (not a full quote as very long):
Like Alex, Lilly Creightmore was an avid comedy fan. In July 2003, she went with her mum to a filming of Little Britain. She remembers Walliams staring intently at her from the side of the stage.
She noticed him again when she went to see a show inside an Agent Provocateur store in London. Creightmore had been a model, appearing on the reality TV show Model Behaviour when she was 16.
Then a card arrived out of the blue. Sent to her mother’s house, it pictured a young girl, arms crossed, with feathered angel wings either side of her. It was from Walliams, asking her for a date. He wrote: “When I saw you in Agent Provocateur I so wanted to speak to you but amongst all those frilly knickers I couldn’t find the words.” She had no idea how Walliams had found her name or address.
Curious, Creightmore says she called the number he had provided in the card. She was 18. Walliams was 32. She agreed to meet him for dinner.
She says she explicitly told him she was interested only in friendship, but over the years she knew him he would constantly pester her for sex. Looking back, she feels he tried to coerce her into sleeping with him.
After Creightmore fell out with her mother, Walliams invited her to stay with him for a couple of weeks at the end of 2003. She slept on the sofa but recalls that every night Walliams “would plead with me to share a bed with him and, you know, paw at me”, she says. “At some point, he put his head in my lap and made me stroke his head.” She adds: “I didn’t feel safe there and it wasn’t a good situation, so I had to go stay somewhere else.”
Ben (not his real name), a friend of Walliams’ at the time, recalls seeing Creightmore at a house party Walliams threw in the days she was there. It was Ben who had helped Walliams track down her contact details through the producers of the modelling show she appeared on when she was 16.
Against the backdrop of the lad culture of the early 00s, Ben had thought of Walliams as something of an “old-fashioned romantic” in his pursuit of women. He had a pattern, Ben says: “See a woman, think she’s attractive, find out how to contact her, send her flowers via that contact asking her out to dinner. Take her out for dinner, invite her back to yours. If she doesn’t come, be sad. Phone her every day until she agrees that the next time she will come.”
Now Ben is concerned that women may have felt uncomfortable with Walliams’ attention. He and Walliams fell out years ago, but he recalls that Walliams told him he (Walliams) was a sex addict. It is something the comedian wrote about in his autobiography when describing mental health issues in the early 00s. “I thought sex could take away my sadness,” Walliams wrote. “However, it just made it worse. And I sank lower and lower into despair. I had become a sex addict.”
Looking back, Creightmore now considers Walliams’ behaviour “highly inappropriate” and says she feels he abused his power. “He was pursuing me, you know, at a vulnerable age and place in my life, for sexual gratification,” she says.
“Yeah, I was a young adult, but I was a vulnerable young adult. [He was] making me feel special, plying me with gifts and then sort of disregarding me when he wasn’t getting what he wanted.”
