How is David Walliams so fucking creepy….

He’s on This Morning right now. He makes my skin crawl. Him and Ben Shepherd together is like the duo from Hell.

YANBU - he’s such a creepy man
YABU - he’s a fine upstanding member of society, you’re the creepy one here

Every time I go to Alton Towers, the mins boggles at how there is a "David Walliams land". And how badly it will age one day.

There is clear evidence that he's not a good person and is hiding in plain sight.
Maybe someone can find the video of a stage show where he 'pretends' to be a pedophile and then basically sexually assaults teenage boys on stage by talking their trousers down. They end up hopping around covering their genitals so people can't see. It's not a set up and none of them are aware he's going to do it. Horrific.

The way he has the audience laughing at that and not calling him out is really uncomfortable too.

Yep. There's evidence all over the place he's sadistic in making people feel uncomfortable, pushing their boundaries, mocking people's appearance and sexuality, all in the name of 'humour'.
But it's not funny. Even just his eyes freak me out.

As a Judge on BGT (before he was sacked for gross misconduct) he would make my skin crawl. It’s meant to be a family show and all the sexual innuendo and gay act towards Simon was 🤢 But oh it’s ok, he’s a comedian 🙄

I have reported the worst comments on this thread and they have been deleted. Any poster who makes libellous comments on line risks legal action but beyond that it is impossible for anyone to reach the twisted conclusions that have been set out on here several times. This is not a hot topic of the day, just an opportunity for pathetic twisted keyboard warriors to have a go.

I'm sorry but saying that you find a celebrity and their proven behaviour creepy or unpleasant is a personal opinion. It's not 'libellous'?

Firefly1987 · 20/05/2025 21:59

Why are people having a pop at Ben?! I thought he was totally bland and inoffensive.

Scout2016 · 20/05/2025 22:16

My DD won't even try reading his books because she finds him creepy, show offy and unfunny. She might change her mind yet because lots of kids she knows loves them but so far we have been spared.

I always thought Little Britain was a shit offensive and lazy rip off of League of Gentleman, even down to a character who loves toads / frogs. Just tasteless no wit at all.

And I agree with PPs about celebrities 'writing' children's books. Just seems so greedy and opportunistic with most of them.

Pickingdates · 20/05/2025 22:23

He makes my skin crawl. Always has.
The way Jimmy Saville did.
Never knew why, visceral reaction.

Reading about him the last couple of years on here, I now know why.
Gut working well clearly.

Boodeebopbop · 20/05/2025 22:36

Didn't he deny seeing anything at that gala dinner where the waitresses were assaulted too?

Same here. Though my comments got deleted. Probably because I put into words what my gut feeling/implication was. [shrugs]

Still baffled at how he managed to pull Lara Stone.

Yes, this ! I mean, he comes across as quite pervy and camp at the same time.
The oddest couple.

When the rumours about Huw Edwards broke before we knew who it was about, my first thought was David Walliams. Then read the detail that it was a BBC presenter so didn't seem how they would describe DW. Was genuinely shocked that the revelation wasn't about him after all as have thought for years surely only a matter of time now.

He's like an adult school bully. The faux gay thing is just a distraction.

SnowFrogJelly · 21/05/2025 00:13

YANBU ever since I saw him doing ‘bitty’ on Little Britain Confused

I can’t stand Ben. I think he’s a bit fake and dull, but he doesn’t give me dodgy vibes like Williams and certain other celebs. So I’d be surprised if he had any major skeletons.

CookingFatCat · 21/05/2025 00:19

I just read the controversies on Wickipedia. He’s a wrong’n. Why these tv companies persist in employing such people despite this kind of evidence.

Neverseenfireflies · 21/05/2025 00:48

So creepy, definitely gay though?? So i’m a bit confused there

Ben isn’t creepy at all?! Surely just a nice (but bland) guy

I always thought he was at least bisexual because, back in the day, I had friends on the comedy scene (nobody you’d know, probably) and they all talked about him having a thing with another well/known male actor/comedy writer! But people are saying he’s straight?!

Who knows. The actor he was allegedly having a thing with is also supposedly straight, married with children so I have no idea!

He visited DC’s school to give a talk to the younger years. DC reported back that DW had been rude to one of their friends who had spoken to DW in the corridor to say how much she loved his books. And obviously he then bounded around the room with all the little kids making out he was the best guy in the world and oh so friendly.

What did he say?

Flyswats · 21/05/2025 01:12

I think you can be a straight man and be camp, they are not mutually exclusive.

This man has very very very good lawyers.

He'll probably be dead before stuff comes out properly.

Then there'll be a lot of hand wringing from all the people who enabled him.

Dunnop · 21/05/2025 01:38

He gives off Count Dracula vibes. Would not surprise me if he didn’t sleep upside down or in a coffin. Ever living ghoul.

ThatLimeCat · 21/05/2025 02:26

Give it 20 years and he'll be in jail a la Rolf Harris or Gary Glitter.

He was rather after my childhood but vastly preferred him to Schofield as a presenter. Never heard a bad word about him and a bit bewildered why he hasn't had a "bigger" career. Perhaps his day will come.

Ds2 was given tickets to Percy Pigs 30th birthday. AP was the compere for the day.. He made a little boy cry. Was utterly terrible. Poor little lad ran back to his parents and AP realised he had gone too far.Ge started blustering.
He was also going around interviewing people whilst M&S recorded him with his own personal make up person trotting behind him. I thought he was an utter prat before I saw him in action. My thoughts were duplicated tenfold afterwards!!
