- Walliams denies wrongdoing; one woman described a closed-door meeting.

## Summary

Britain’s Got Talent bosses investigated claims about David Walliams inviting teenage girls into his dressing room after journalists and social media users raised concerns around 2020. According to people involved with the programme, the informal inquiry found no evidence they considered sufficient to establish wrongdoing, and there had been no formal complaints to the production companies.

The article says the guests were added to a family and friends list by Walliams’s assistant, but organisers could not establish who they were or how he had met them. One woman later told an ITV documentary that she and three other teenagers were alone with Walliams in a closed dressing room, contradicting claims that the door was left open. Walliams denies wrongdoing; the article also reports that Simon Cowell has not spoken to him since 2022 and distanced himself four years ago.
