If I was one of the other judges I would have told him to shut the duck up. Maybe they are just as bad

The way ITV protect the likes of Walliams and Schofield, they are like the BBC in the 1970s. At least in the 1970s one can understand how victims felt they'd never be believed and the culture was such that certain things were deemed more "acceptable" (not that it made anything that happened right), but it beggars belief that in 2022, predatory behaviour is still covered up.
Make me sick to think of how much my children, and myself, liked his books, when they were younger. I spent a fortune on them. And now I hear he probably didn't even write them. Although maybe it's just as well. He got the bloody money for them though! Hope the ghostwriter name is/are made public some day so they can get the credit.This thread is a slow one so I'm replying to old messages, but I had to say something about this. Nobody else seems to remember Capturing Mary! Yes, he was convincingly creepy in that drama. It gave me chills.
I've had a bad feeling about David Walliams for absolutely ages, but feel as if I'm always waiting for something incriminating to emerge. Nothing's affected his career so far.
Speaking about his inappropriate behaviour on TV, I also think it's so immature. It's as if he doesn't know how to behave in public and has no awareness of other people's boundaries. And maybe I have no sense of humour, but I don't see why pretending to have sex with men is so hilarious? Oh look...it looks like they're having sex but they're not really...such wit.Did anyone see the panel show (it was either 8 Out of 10 Cats or Would I Lie to You) where he did the same to Phil Spencer. It was so uncomfortable to watch, not because I'm prudish, but because poor Phil looked so awkward. Just did a quick Google search but can't find the episode online.
That's surprising about Mark Owen. So he's another dirty b then

Bigger publications have done this with Russell Brand and threatened legal action closed it down.
Which acts was he talking about?
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks DW is such a sleezy, creepy, dirty old man.
He's given me the ick for a long time, with his OTT camp behaviour to excuse improper behaviour towards others. I can't stand him.
Anyone else got a bottle of babycham chilling in preparation to celebrate his downfall?

I've been waiting for the day something broke about him. He's always given me the massive Ick. Can't believe it's taken this long tbh. Those comments are really awful, look I get it we all love a witch and a moan but not when you are a paid professional at work calling contestants bleeps and talking about shagging them.
In the bin you odious lanky tosser.

I’ve never liked DW since that awful Presidents Club dinner he hosted. How on earth could men think that sort of thing was acceptable. I hate the fact his childrens books are so popular.
It always puzzled me how they got away with such awful degrading stereotyping on Come Fly with Me including doing blackface. I mean we're talking about a programme of more recent times, not the eighties.
Odious right winger Jim Davidson doing nothing near as bad got cancelled (quite rightly too) for his comedy but it seems the trick is to portray yourself as left leaning because the left never cancel their their own ..which is why David and Matt were able to carry on getting top gigs.
I enjoy seeing the downfall of people like this.

As a "liberal leftie" "woke snowflake" or whatever you may call me (I get a lot worse at family dinners!!) Your comment about the left not cancelling their own really hit home and gave me food for thought. Thank you! I don't think "cancel culture" is a thing and I think those who are "cancelled" have been called out for inappropriate behavior HOWEVER you've got me thinking if DW spoke with a working class accent, held right wing views and went against the grain would he have survived long? I think the answer is no ....
I'd never thought of it like that
definitely something for me to think about ...It came out years ago that Mark Owen was a raging womaniser. Think he made a statement admitting to like 8 affairs or something but his wife was sticking by himThe way ITV protect the likes of Walliams and Schofield, they are like the BBC in the 1970s.

Imagine staying with him after that and I guarantee you he’s still at it, a leopard never changes it’s spots.
So AIBU to finally feel justified enough to sling all of the Walliams books my children own?
Yes? Oh well, I'm doing it anyway.

Exactly. The comments may not have been intended for broadcast, but they were said in the workplace. And most of us know there are additional rules about how you behave in the workplace.
Same. Its so hard for new authors to break through and get publishing deals and he gets it handed on a plate to him on a plate.
I always like to look for lesser known authors when buying my son books rather than line the already full pockets of people like him.
It's interesting so many of us say he gives us the creeps
Alton Towers must be shitting it now. An entire section of their theme park dedicated to his books, complete with his odious voice floating out of the speakers on the rides.
