David Walliams has quit Britain's Got Talent, it has been reported. Walliams has been a judge on the show for a decade, however the release of leaked voice notes from his time on the show in which he made derogatory remarks about a contestant saw him release an apology.
One remark included him calling a Britain's Got Talent contestant a "c**t" and saying about another: "She thinks you want to f**k her, but you don't." The comedian and author has since apologised for such remarks, labelling them as “disrespectful”.
“I would like to apologise to the people I made disrespectful comments about during breaks in filming for Britain's Got Talent in 2020,” Walliams wrote earlier this month. "These were private conversations and – like most conversations with friends – were never intended to be shared. Nevertheless, I am sorry."
