David Walliam’s celebrity party guest issues five-word warning to young model

Ella, who was 19 at the time, says a guest’s wife warned her to be careful at a celebrity party hosted by David Walliams, before an alleged unwanted encounter with the comedian. She alleges Walliams tried to kiss her, touched her and urged her to stay when she and a friend wanted to leave; she says she felt vulnerable and intimidated.

Ella told ITV News that Walliams had contacted her after seeing her in a magazine, taken her to dinner and invited her to the party at his London home. Walliams acknowledged making what he called a “clumsy pass”, but denied further advances or putting his head in her lap, and said he did not intend to intimidate her. The claims are part of a three-year investigation into allegations involving teenage girls and young women, which he strongly denies.
