David Walliams ‘used power on BGT to pluck young model from audience in front of her DAD before pestering her for sex’
DAVID Walliams plucked a model out of the Britain’s Got Talent audience then pestered her for sex, it was claimed last night.
Louisa — whose full name we are not disclosing — told The Sun how the disgraced entertainer paraded in front of her in a towel and begged her for intimate photos.
The aspiring model’s life turned upside-down after a night with her father to watch BGT auditions in Birmingham in February 2015.
Production staff picked her out of the queue to give her a seat near the front, before she was moved again to the front row, leaving her dad at the back of the auditorium.
She claimed Walliams “clocked” her as soon as he came out with fellow judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden.
She said: “I think a producer must have had a word, because he was looking out for me as soon as he emerged on stage — smiling and trying to catch my eye.
“During filming he turned around and threw me a sweet, no one else. He wanted me to know he’d seen me. I didn’t know what was going on.”
After the show a producer singled out Louisa to ask if she could return the next day to “work on sketches” with them for spin-off show Britain’s Got More Talent.
Louisa said: “When I got home that night I told my partner. He didn’t believe me.
“Then suddenly David Walliams rang my phone. I’d left my number with the producer. David said I was charismatic and one of their models had dropped out, so he’d love it if I could fill in for them. I was in dreamland.
“And then the next morning I had a lovely chauffeured Mercedes pull up outside my home on a Walsall council estate.
“I was taken to Birmingham and met presenter Stephen Mulhern, ‘dancing’ dog Pudsey, and the band Diversity. It was all amazing.”
However there was a nasty surprise in store for Louisa, who went on: “I was ushered into my own dressing room when Walliams appeared naked apart from a towel. He claimed his shower was broken.
“I was intimidated and uncomfortable but didn’t know what to do or say. I was timid, on my own, and thought naively this is what happens in the world of TV.
“David stood there chatting and being very flirty. Looking back I think he was hoping I’d make a move on him there and then.
“I’m not that kind of girl. I’ve had one relationship in my life. I was appalled and freaked out.”
Louisa, then 24, had been asked to bring “provocative clothing” and posed in a skimpy top and hotpants while Walliams was dressed as a dog. She had to lead him out on a leash, and sit on his lap.
A clip showed co-host Mulhern asking Louisa if the star had been a “good boy”, then with a nudge and a wink he said to Walliams: “Did you get any treats?”
Afterwards, Walliams began lavishing Louisa with jewellery and designer handbags.
He would also FaceTime her and began begging for “sexual pictures”.
Louisa eventually visited his London home, but insisted on taking a pal.
She said: “He loved talking about himself. I was a masseuse and part-time model and he offered me a job there and then, saying I could work his body whenever he was stressed.
“It was sleazy, but I was caught up in it all. He made it obvious what he wanted from me.”
However she said his attitude later changed, recalling: “David grew impatient when I wasn’t doing everything he wanted. His wacky, fun public demeanour evaporated.
“He was particularly cruel one night at the Hotel Du Vin in Birmingham. I wouldn’t give him what he wanted and he called me boring, saying I reminded him of his wife because it was like we’d been married for years.”
Walliams split from supermodel Lara Stone in 2015.
Louisa said it was her love for her two children which gave her the strength to cut ties with him.
She said: “One time I was meant to go and meet him. I got to the train station but just watched the train go past. I’d had two years of being used by him. I didn’t want to be his ‘Birmingham babe’.
“I’d been picked up then tossed away like rubbish on a whim because I wasn’t pleasing him.”
Louisa said it led to the end of her long-term relationship and an ADHD diagnosis.
She said: “I was in bits. I had to take anti-depressants. He doesn’t realise what he’s done to me. Everybody hailed David. But the reality is, he’s a bit of a monster.”
A former junior BGT employee also said he saw two “very young” people in Walliams’ dressing room in 2017, while the star was wearing just a towel.
BGT bosses are now to wipe disgraced Walliams — a show judge for ten years — from film montages for its 20th anniversary tribute next year.
One source said: “They don’t plan on even mentioning it.”
BGT producers Fremantle said last night: “We are disturbed and concerned at these serious allegations.
“During David’s time on the show and in the intervening period, no complaint was ever made regarding his behaviour to Fremantle UK.
“If anyone feels they have been the subject of any impropriety or wrongdoing by anyone on any Fremantle or associated labels’ productions, we encourage them to come forward.”
Williams rejects any wrongdoing and has not been accused of any criminal conduct.
2nd telly exposé is being lined up
By Olivia Monk
A MAJOR new two-part documentary is being developed to further investigate allegations of sexual harassment by David Walliams.
Insiders said they understood as many as 20 alleged victims were speaking to producers.
The project is being overseen by Samphire Films — which has links to the team behind the explosive documentary about Kevin Spacey.
A source said: “There are people who have never spoken publicly about what they say happened to them, and this is giving them the chance to tell their side of the story.
“People working on it say the first investigation may only have scratched the surface.”
Samphire Films has approached various TV channels about the project, The Sun understands.
The source added: “There are some very serious accounts being discussed. The number of people they’re speaking to keeps growing.”
TV aired its documentary on Walliams on Tuesday after a three-year probe. He strongly denies all allegations.
Williams has not been accused of any criminal conduct.
