The TV presenter Jonathan Ross has said he is horrified by the allegations of sexual misconduct against David Walliams and the conviction of Russell Brand and said he had been “genuinely unaware” of their behaviour.

Ross said it was deeply shocking to revisit footage of a joke he had made at the British Comedy Awards in 2004, which referred to Walliams “going home” with a 15-year-old.

He said the joke had been submitted to him by a writing team.

David Walliams has denied any wrongdoing.
