## Key points

- Jess Phillips questioned how the alleged behaviour could have gone unnoticed.
- She had previously taken her children to meet Walliams.
- Walliams denies the allegations; police have contacted the journalists.

## Summary

Jess Phillips said she found it “dazzlingly hard to believe” that people were unaware of alleged patterns in David Walliams’ behaviour towards teenage girls. She criticised the entertainment industry’s safeguarding practices after reports alleged that girls were taken to Walliams’ Britain’s Got Talent dressing room without a chaperone.

Phillips had taken her children to meet Walliams during the 2019 election campaign and called him a “legend”. Walliams denies all allegations, including grooming and criminal activity, and denies paying a junior employee for silence; Fremantle said it had received no complaint about his behaviour. A judge rejected his bid to prevent publication, and police said they had contacted the journalists to help potential victims report allegations.
