🚨 SUMMARY: The sexual allegations against David Walliams who fought to keep his name secret

- A Guardian and ITV News investigation reveals allegations from multiple women who claim Walliams used his celebrity status to pursue them sexually, including when some were underage

- A girl who was 15 when she first spoke to Walliams online in 2007 says he knew her age but continued messaging her, arranged to meet her and later took her to his house. She alleges he kissed her, lifted her top, sucked her breast and tried to put her hand down his trousers. She says she told him no and that he suggested they wait until she was 16. Walliams strongly denies any sexual contact with her

- Another girl, who was 15 when she met Walliams in 2004, says he was 32 and initially encouraged her interest in comedy, helped with her scripts and invited her backstage. She alleges that when she was 17, he began asking for increasingly sexual photos, including nude pictures, and sent her a message saying "you in the bath is a nice thought". She says they later had sex three times when she was 17 and 18. Although she describes the relationship as consensual, she says she felt pressured and that he was pushy. Walliams says he believed she was 18, denies pressuring her and says he believes he used a condom

- An 18-year-old woman says Walliams, then 31, contacted her in 2003 after seeing her on television. She says he offered her somewhere to stay when she was struggling, but repeatedly asked her to share his bed and touched her despite her not wanting to. She alleges he became angry and insulting when she refused sex. She never had sex with him and says she felt manipulated by his offers of help and career opportunities

- A 19-year-old woman says Walliams, then 36, invited her to dinner and later to a party at his home in 2007. She alleges he tried to kiss her in his bedroom, then became upset and angry when she tried to leave. She says he held her face and begged her to stay before eventually telling her and her friends to leave. Walliams says he made a clumsy pass but denies the rest of her account

- An 18-year-old woman who met him through Britain's Got Talent in 2016 says Walliams, then 44, invited her and a friend to his house. She alleges he stroked her leg, followed her to the bathroom and tried to kiss her. She says he later tried to lead her upstairs towards his bedroom, but her friend stopped him

- A 17-year-old Britain's Got Talent fan says she was invited to Walliams' dressing room in 2015 after randomly receiving a Twitter DM from him. She brought a 13-year-old girl with her. She alleges that they were left alone with him with two other girls aged 16 and 17 and that the door was closed. His lawyers say they were not alone and that the door remained open but the fan says they were "absolutely" left alone and "he’s the sort of person who had obviously a lot of access to young women"

- BGT staff messages (see below) show colleagues discussing concerns about Walliams messaging young female runners, with one calling him "weird af". Separately, a former employee said he saw two very young people in Walliams' dressing room while he was wearing only a towel after showering. Walliams denies any inappropriate behaviour, saying a £300 payment, which another colleague jokingly described as "hush money", was simply a tip judges traditionally gave to their runners

- A former female employee, who was 24 in 2017, says Walliams referred to her as "the arse" when asking a male colleague to get her to bring him a drink. She also says he stared at her chest. Walliams says he does not remember making the comment or staring

- No 10 says the allegations are "deeply troubling"

- Walliams denies breaking any laws and says he is "not a sexual predator"

"Mental Fatigue" from working in the VAR room. Yet he was in UAE 48 hours before this error. Maybe it was jetlag from working for Man Citys owners shortly before giving a hugely beneficial offside error which benefitted Man City funnily enough.

It felt so good to be back!
I’ll never take this feeling for granted, being able to be back doing what I love.
It has been a long road & extremely difficult personally & professionally but I’m back where I belong, on the pitch.
Thank you for all the support.
Comeback complete!❤️

A statement on yesterday…..

Everything I said in that interview was true. However, rest assured I’m doing my best to turn things round.

I have been in a mental health clinic for the last 10 weeks, finally discharging so I could attempt to play in Belfast

I owed that to my family, in particular my daughter to see me play for what could be the last time….. I also owed it to the fans who have supported me throughout my 21 years on tour

I also owed that to World Snooker who have been amazing from day on in all this, in particular Simon Brownell and Neil Tomkins who have remained in touch regularly, even Simon paying me a visit in the clinic itself

I’m not ok, but I’m ok in that itself. I’ve been much worse in the last few months than you saw yesterday. I literally didn’t see a future in anything…..

My daughter kept me going, the therapists, staff and all the other patients were amazing and helped me through some really dark days

I see the light now that I couldn’t see before but I do now. I also know it won’t happen overnight. I’m a work in progress!!! My fight and determination on the table has always been there for ones to see. I need to show those same fighting qualities off it now for a while

Please don’t detract anything from Jordan yesterday, he’s been aware of my struggles and that can’t have been easy to play in but he handled it with grace and skill as I knew he would. Im proud to call him a friend

I hope the rest of the event is a success and I will continue my treatments going forward and then see what’s ahead

Thank you to every single message I have received on here, instagram, Facebook, text messages and WhatsApp’s, I’ve seen them all but a bit overwhelmed to reply right now. Just know that they have helped me a lot but I’m not going anywhere just yet!!!! I have so much to live for and this is only the beginning of my new journey

Also, I was not made to do any interviews, I was simply given a choice and felt I owed it to everyone to speak. The media team at WST have been incredible through all this too

Thank you all x
