Production figures at Britain’s Got Talent allegedly helped leak recordings of David Walliams making offensive and sexually explicit remarks about contestants, according to journalist Marina Hyde
Walliams left the judging panel in 2022 after the comments became public and later brought legal action against Fremantle, claiming extensive recording of his private conversations
The case ended in an amicable resolution
Hyde’s claims come as ITV News and The Guardian publish further allegations concerning Walliams, which he strongly denies
Fremantle said it was disturbed by the reports, while ministers have promised tougher scrutiny of the television industry.
