The Met is investigating the separate allegations from those reported by the two publications. But they are proactive and reviewing the report. Both publications have published reports alleging that Walliams has been accused of sexual misconduct by several women, including one who was aged 15 at the time when thet met.

The police have since received “a number of allegations of non-recent serious sexual offences involving a man now in his 50s.”

“The allegations are separate from those reported by ITN and The Guardian,” the force said in a statement. “However, as part of their investigation, detectives are also proactively reviewing that reporting to establish whether there is any evidence of offences.”

In a statement announcing the investigation, the Metropolitan Police urged potential victims to come forward and speak about it

“We would encourage anyone who has been the victim of a sexual offence to come forward and speak to us, no matter when it happened,” said Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney.

“We know reporting allegations of this nature can be daunting, but specialist officers are on hand to provide support, answer questions and guide you through the process.”

I realize I did not always take people’s feelings properly into account. That is something I regret. And whilst a power imbalance is inevitable when one party is famous, abusing that power is something else entirely and it is something that I never did,” he said.
