Multiple women have accused David Walliams of ‘grooming’ them when they were teenagers.

One young woman, Lilly Creightmore (pictured below), said she met Walliams when she was 18 at a live filming of Little Britain.

She said she had a troubled home life so stayed with him in his flat, where she slept on the sofa.

Ms Creightmore claimed he asked her to stay in his bed every night.

She told the news organisations: ‘He would plead with me to share a bed with him and paw at me, trying to make me feel sorry for him.

‘He definitely crossed the line physically in moments, when I was young, trying to coerce me into sleeping with him.’

Lawyers for Walliams said he saw her as a close friend and is mortified that she feels he was grooming her, which he denies.

He also denies targeting her because she was young and vulnerable and insists he did not say or do anything inappropriate.
