The announcement comes after reports emerged that Walliams had systematically used his power to pressure young women into sleeping with him. In some cases, the women were reportedly as young as 15.

Reports of sexual harassment have previously been published by The Guardian and ITV.

David Walliams is known for programmes such as "Little Britain" and "Britain's Got Talent", and is also a popular children's author.

Walliams' legal representative has tried to prevent the information from being published, citing the risk that he might take his own life. The court has previously rejected this argument.
