Comedian Lucy Beaumont said she was one of the whistleblowers who contacted the Guardian about David Walliams. She told Sky News a young TV worker confided he had been asked to take young girls, believed to be over 16, to the star's dressing room. Beaumont said she never worked with Walliams, fears losing TV work for speaking out, and wants better safeguarding. Walliams denies wrongdoing.
