## Summary

David Walliams is facing serious allegations from several women of sexual assault and inappropriate contact, including claims that he groomed them when they were teenagers. He denies that any contact was non-consensual. The article links the allegations to his public accounts of loneliness and troubled relationships, while describing a career that has included Little Britain, Britain’s Got Talent and bestselling children’s books.

Walliams was born in 1971 and has said he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after becoming famous. He has described a distant relationship with his father and a fear of being alone; on Desert Island Discs in 2009, he chose a gun as his luxury, saying he could not bear solitude. The article says he has pursued relationships with younger women, some still in their teens, and notes that HarperCollins dropped him last December amid allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards female employees; his books have sold more than 60 million copies.
