## Key points

- The footage has resurfaced amid sexual abuse allegations against him.
- The article also recalls earlier clips involving Walliams and Sean Lock.

## Summary

Resurfaced footage shows David Walliams making a joke about sharing a bed with 13-year-old boys on Channel 4’s *8 Out of 10 Cats* in 2009. The clip has drawn renewed attention as Walliams faces sexual abuse allegations, which became public after a High Court injunction blocking their publication was dismissed on 3 November.

The programme was filmed around the time of Michael Jackson’s death, and Walliams made the remark while discussing stories in the news; host Jimmy Carr grimaced and comedian Sean Lock appeared unimpressed. The article also recalls footage from a 2007 *Little Britain* stage show in which Walliams performed a game involving young male audience members, and a 2014 appearance where Lock criticised Russell Brand. Brand was later sentenced to ten years and six months in prison for rape and sexual assault offences.
