Jeremy Edwards has accused David Walliams of ‘sexually humiliating’ him during a performance in 2006.

The actor, 55, best known for appearing in Hollyoaks and Holby City, appeared on stage with Walliams for a Comic Relief sketch in November 2006, but was left exposed after the comedian pulled his trousers down and exposed him to the audience.

Walliams was named on Tuesday as the high-profile figure who had tried to prevent allegations of sexual misconduct being published.

The Guardian said multiple women had accused Walliams of abusing his ‘power and position as a celebrity to prey ​on them for sexual purposes when they were teenagers or young women’. He denies wrongdoing.

The Metropolitan Police have since launched a criminal investigation into the author.

Edwards has now described what happened to him on stage at the Hammersmith Apollo 20 years ago as ‘abuse’.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Edwards described his humiliation after taking part in a game of ‘hide the sausage’, where Walliams lunged at him before pulling down his jeans and underwear.

Footage of the ‘game’, in which Walliams simulates sex acts, sparked outrage when it re-emerged on social media in 2020.

‘You just can’t do that to people. Having your trousers pulled down and you’re stood there in your boxer shorts is one thing. Having your penis exposed is something very different.
