10.11.2026 ⇢ The Day David Walliams Was Named in Sex Claims
⌨

Morning editors stayed with Russell Brand a day after his 10-and-a-half-year sentence, reporting ex-partner Jemima Goldsmith’s allegations of violence and coercive control and police receiving a string of new complaints that could bring charges within weeks and a second trial.

By midday focus moved to David Walliams, named after failing to sustain anonymity over sexual misconduct allegations. Outlets detailed claims he preyed on girls as young as 15, groomed teenagers online and solicited nude pictures, days after he was sectioned. Police said they would assess any allegations and urged potential victims to come forward, while coverage resurfaced a 2004 Jonathan Ross joke, a reported Britain’s Got Talent dressing-room inquiry six years ago, and Ross saying he was horrified.

Elsewhere editors noted US warplanes leaving a second British base over Iran threats and the arrest of a US soldier by British counter-terror police on suspicion of spying for Russia.
