On Twitter, one wrote: ‘David Walliams on my screen, I feel so uncomfortable’.
While another in reference to his scandal-ridden BGT exit wrote, “When he’s done with his audition, we should all be whispering obscenities about him to each other.”
A third said: ”#RedNoseDay no reason why was David Walliams in it?? Read the roommates’.
It comes after David left the ITV show ahead of the 2023 series and was replaced by former Strictly judge Bruno Tonioli, 67.
It came after he was forced to apologize for describing an older contestant as a ‘c***’ and making vile sexual remarks about a woman who participates.
The comments, made in January 2020 during auditions at the London Palladium, were picked up by the programme’s microphones and revealed in December 2022.
During the audition, an elderly performer engaged in banter with the judges in which he made a joke about Walliams. After the audition, the pensioner left, after which Walliams allegedly called him a ‘c***’ three times.
In another instance, after a female contestant auditioning for the same show left the stage, Walliams remarked, “She’s like the slightly boring girl you meet in the pub and think you want to fuck them, but you don’t.” … It’s the last thing on your mind, but she says, “Yeah, I bet you do!” ‘
