Jonathan Ross joked about David Walliams ‘going home with 15-year-olds’ at 2004 comedy awards

A clip of Jonathan Ross joking about 15-year-olds "going home with" David Walliams at an awards ceremony has resurfaced after almost two decades.

Walliams, the children's author and star of Little Britain, was today revealed to be the celebrity who recently brought legal action against media organisations to prevent them from publishing allegations of sexual misconduct.

The Guardian and ITV have now published investigations into Walliams, with one woman describing her encounter with the comedian when she was aged 15 as "sexual assault".
