A former Britain’s Got Talent crew member has detailed an alleged \u201cuncomfortable\u201d encounter in David Walliams\u2019 dressing room, amid a series of serious allegations against the comedian.<\/span><\/p>\n

Walliams has been accused of inappropriate sexual behaviour towards multiple women and teenage girls in a major joint investigation by ITV News and The Guardian. The allegations, which go as far back as 2003, are detailed in a new ITV documentary<\/a>, David Walliams: Power and Silence.<\/span><\/p>\n

The investigation took more than three years, and features accounts from women who allege the Little Britain star used his celebrity status to pursue them sexually.<\/span><\/p>\n

One woman accuses Walliams of making unwanted sexual contact with her when she was 15. Another claims she was 15 and Walliams was 32 when he offered to help her break into the TV industry, alleging their relationship became sexual when she was 17.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other women have accused the former Britain’s Got Talent<\/a> judge of exploiting their vulnerability, while former employees have raised concerns about his alleged behaviour behind the scenes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Walliams has denied the allegations, saying he \u201cregrets\u201d behaving \u201cthoughtlessly towards other people I had casual sexual relationships with\u201d in the past. However, he added, \u201cI am not a sexual predator… I have not broken the law… I am devastated that some of the women I met ten to twenty years ago have now expressed hurt or anger towards me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The documentary<\/a> also examines Walliams’ decade-long stint on Britain’s Got Talent, where former crew members have spoken about incidents they claim made them uncomfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among them is a former judge runner, identified as Mark, who recalled a particular encounter in Walliams’ dressing room.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark worked with Walliams for a week of Britain’s Got Talent live shows in 2017, helping with the judge’s day-to-day needs backstage. He described his role as doing \u201cwhatever was needed\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, the documentary states, there were scenes he witnessed that made him feel \u201cuncomfortable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere was an occasion where I was called to David\u2019s dressing room to do a task, and when I went in, there was two very young people in there,\u201d Mark said. \u201cDavid had like had a shower, and then was in a towel.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Mark said he had felt uneasy about Walliams’ behaviour on several occasions but had not reported his concerns. He also recalled receiving an unexpected gift from the comedian at the end of the live shows.<\/span><\/p>\n
