David Walliams reportedly met Chloe Ayling after contacting her online
David Walliams reportedly contacted model Chloe Ayling on social media and arranged to meet her at his London home in early 2018, after becoming interested in her account of being kidnapped. The reported meeting came about six months after her abduction and before she travelled to Switzerland for a break ahead of the trial.
Ayling was kidnapped in Milan in 2017, held captive for six days and released after, she said, befriending one of her captors as a survival tactic. The kidnappers demanded a £230,000 ransom; the two brothers were convicted, with their prison sentences later reduced on appeal. Ayling faced online accusations that she had fabricated the ordeal, which the trial judge described as “incoherent and absurd”.
