The Metropolitan Police has opened an investigation into David Walliams after receiving several allegations of non-recent serious sexual offences involving a man in his 50s. Detectives say these complaints are separate from claims recently published by ITV News and the Guardian, though officers are also reviewing that reporting. Walliams has denied wrongdoing, insisting he is not a sexual predator and has never broken the law.
