Police issue statement after several women accuse him of sexual misconduct in ITV News and Guardian investigation

Scotland Yard said it would “carefully assess” any allegations reported to it about David Walliams.

But the Met Police stressed that it had not received any claims about the TV star and author.

Hours after The Guardian and ITV News named Walliams as the famous man at the centre of their investigation into alleged sexual misconduct, the force put out a statement.

A Met spokesperson said: “We’re aware of reports in the media in relation to allegations involving a man in his 50s.

“The Met has not received any related reports of sexual assault or any other offences.

“Should we receive any reports, they will be carefully assessed. Anyone who contacts the police will be supported by specialist officers.”

The spokesperson added: "Last week, we contacted the media organisations that were involved in civil proceedings relating to the protection of the identity of that individual, to ensure that any potential victims who they have spoken to could be made aware of how they could report any criminal allegations to police.

“Reports can be made by calling 101, providing the reference 4900/10NOV26."

Walliams has been accused of sexual misconduct and abusing his power to groom teenagers as young as 15 following a media investigation.
