That is something I regret. And whilst a power imbalance is inevitable when one party is famous, abusing that power is something else entirely and it is something that I never did.” “I am not a sexual predator,” he writes. “I have not broken the law, but I am devastated that some of the women I met 10 to 20 years ago have now expressed hurt or anger towards me.” Read the full investigation on the Guardian website https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/ng-interactive/2026/nov/10/david-walliams-accused-sex-grooming-allegations-young-women The ITV News documentary David Walliams: Power and Silence is available to watch on YouTube and ITVX ► https://youtu.be/HVATDPWtO_M Today in Focus ► https://www.theguardian.com/news/series/todayinfocus Support the Guardian ► https://support.theguardian.com/ The Guardian on YouTube: Documentaries ► https://www.youtube.com/@theGuardian Breaking News ► https://www.youtube.com/@guardiannews Stateside ► https://www.youtube.com/@statesidepodcast Politics Weekly ► https://www.youtube.com/@politicsweekly Science Weekly ► https://www.youtube.com/@scienceweeklypod Football Weekly podcast ► https://www.youtube.com/@FootballWeeklyPodcast davidwalliams powerandsilence BGT britainsgottalent littlebritain investigation itvnews tv media
