Newspaper headlines: ‘David Walliams accused’ and ‘Named & shamed’

“Named & shamed”, declares the Sun alongside a headshot of Walliams, who it writes has been revealed as the celebrity who lost a legal bid to stop the claims against him being made public. It also reports that the BBC is removing some programmes featuring Walliams, including hit comedy Little Britain. In his letter to the media, Walliams says: “Looking back, I realise that at times I behaved thoughtlessly towards other people I had casual sexual relationships with. I realise I did not always take people’s feelings properly into account. That is something I regret. And whilst a power imbalance is inevitable when one party is famous, abusing that power is something else entirely and it is something that I never did.” Separately, the paper reports that Thomas Markle Snr has been sent to prison after “allegedly cutting off his ankle tag”. The father of the Duchess of Sussex faces charges “over child sex images”, an allegation he strenuously denies.
