David Walliams has reportedly claimed that the BBC “pulled part of its funding” for an animation project based on his 2011 book series Gangsta Granny due to "negative publicity".The Little Britain star stepped down from Britain's Got Talent last November after derogatory comments he made about contestants were leaked, which Simon Cowell branded as "unacceptable and upsetting" at the time.
Walliams later apologised for his offensive comments but is now suing the production company behind the show, Fremantle, over an alleged data breach in the High Court.
