## Summary

On a 2009 episode of Alan Carr’s Chatty Man, David Walliams joked that Natalie Imbruglia had turned down his proposal and called him a “vile sexual predator”. The old exchange has resurfaced amid current allegations of sexual misconduct against Walliams, which he strongly denies.

Walliams said he had a “huge crush” on Imbruglia, whom he met in 2009, but described them as good friends and said she did not want to marry him. During the interview, Carr also teased Walliams about his dating life. The article reports that Walliams sought an injunction to stop reporting about misconduct claims; he admits a consensual relationship with a HarperCollins intern but denies grooming, sexual assault and abusing his celebrity status.
