Jonathan Ross ‘horrified’ by David Walliams and Russell Brand revelations
The Guardian reports Jonathan Ross's horror at revelations about David Walliams, saying his 2004 Comedy Awards joke about Walliams going home with a 15-year-old was scripted by the awards team and that he would have refused it had he suspected it referred to real events, calling it tasteless. Several women accuse Walliams of using his celebrity to prey on young women and teenagers; he denies wrongdoing in a letter, while the BBC reviews his material, his agency drops him, Sky pulls his film Fing!, and Labour suspends his membership.
