Britain's Got Talent judge David Walliams has issued an apology after reportedly making rude and inappropriate comments about contestants auditioning for the ITV talent show.
The remarks were made during a recorded audition show at the London Palladium in January 2020 and transcripts of the conversations were leaked to the Guardian, who were told by lawyers for the comedian and writer and for production company Thames TV, that they were part of a private conversation not intended for broadcast.
One of the incidents was about an older performer who made a jibe about Walliams during an unsuccessful audition while another was about a female contestant on the same show. The comments were picked up by microphones used to capture discussions between judges sat at the desk.
