A resurfaced clip of Jimmy Carr from 2006 has seen the comedian joke about David Walliams ‘conquering’ women. It has now been revealed the former Little Britain star was unmasked as the celebrity who fought for a court order to suppress allegations that he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl and preyed on multiple teenage girls while ‘abusing his status’ to exploit teens.And attending Britain’s Next Top Model launch party two decades ago, Jimmy chatted to reporters on the red carpet as he joked he is only at the event to ‘meet David Walliams’s next conquest’. As the reporter asked: ‘Do you think there’s a possibility she’ll be there?’ Jimmy replied: ‘Yeah, if she does well, if she gets through the selection. ‘Is that the prize? You get a go on David Williams, or do they get a modelilng contest? What’s the prize? I’m confused.’Walliams went on to marry model Lara Stone in 2010 after they met in 2009. They divorced in March 2015. On Tuesday, a three-year joint investigation by ITV News and The Guardian revealed a series of allegations dating back to 2003, with some accusers being as young as 15. David denies all the allegations. Jimmy Carr joked about David Walliams ‘conquering’ women in a 2006 clip from Britain’s Next Top Model launch party – as the Little Britain star is accused of sexual assault On Tuesday, a three-year joint investigation by ITV News and The Guardian revealed a series of allegations dating back to 2003, with some accusers being as young as 15. David denies all the allegationsIn a statement to The Guardian and ITV News, the comedian said: ‘Looking back, I realise that at times I behaved thoughtlessly towards other people I had casual sexual relationships with… I realise I did not always take people’s feelings properly into account. That is something I regret.’And whilst a power imbalance is inevitable when one party is famous, abusing that power is something else entirely and it is something that I never did…’I am not a sexual predator… I have not broken the law… I am devastated that some of the women I met ten to twenty years ago have now expressed hurt or anger towards me.’Last month the High Court judge previously dismissed David’s bid to prevent the publication of the allegations but granted him permission to appeal and temporarily kept his identity secret. However, the comedian-and-writer missed a 4.30pm deadline on Monday to take the case to the Court of Appeal, meaning he can now be named.Walliams denies any wrongdoing and argued in the High Court that he would kill himself if his identity were revealed. On Tuesday afternoon, Downing Street said allegations of sexual misconduct made by multiple women were ‘deeply troubling’.Meanwhile footage has also emerged of Jonathan Ross joking in 2004 about 15-year-olds ‘going home with David Walliams’. Walliams was seen throwing his head back in laughter at the remark on national TV. The best-selling children’s author sought an injunction to prevent publication of the claims, arguing he would take his own life if the allegations became public. He was finally named today. Jonathan made the joke at the British Comedy Awards in 2004, when Little Britain – which Walliams created and starred in alongside Matt Lucas – was awarded Best TV Comedy. Jimmy joked: ‘Is that the prize? You get a go on David Williams, or do they get a modelling contest? What’s the prize? I’m confused’ Mr Ross made the joke at the British Comedy Awards in December 2004, when Little Britain – which Walliams created and starred in – was awarded Best TV Comedy David Walliams, who was today unmasked as the celebrity who tried to suppress allegations of sexual misconduct, was filmed laughing at the remark’The comedy awards is 15 years old – 15 years old!’ Ross told the audience. ‘And like most 15-year-olds, it’s drunk, it’s unpredictable and it’s probably going home with David Walliams.’In the clip, Walliams appears relaxed and seemingly enjoying himself, dressed in a black dinner jacket and bow tie. Ross, responding through lawyers, said he did not write the joke himself but just delivered it. One accuser, named as Jade by ITV News and The Guardian, alleges she was sexually assaulted by Walliams when she was 15 after he contacted her online.Jade claims they met in London’s Soho before he drove her to his home in his Aston Martin. She alleges Walliams sexually assaulted her at Supernova Heights, the mansion once owned by Oasis star Noel Gallagher.’He asked me to come over and gave me a hug. That’s when he kissed me,’ Jade alleged of Walliams, who was 36 at the time.’He lifted my top up and sucked on my breast and then tried to put my hand down his trousers. That’s when I pulled away and said, “No”. He had an erection at the time,’ she said.’I wasn’t ready for sex. I didn’t want to do that, with him or with anyone. I didn’t want to be touched in that way at all. I mean, I was only 15.’She claimed she had confided in him that she had previously been sexually abused by someone else as a child, to which he responded: ‘Sorry to hear that.’Jade said she considers what she alleges happened to her to have been ‘sexual assault’ and ‘grooming’, adding: ‘It’s completely wrong in every way.’Another woman, identified only as Alex, claims Walliams began contacting her when she was 15 and studying for her mock GCSEs after meeting her at a Little Britain fan event where he was dressed as his character Lou.The moment they met was captured on camera. They began a sexual relationship around two years later, when she was 17.Asked how she feels about him now, she said: ‘I want to vomit. I hate him. My body reacts when I think about it. It’s like a trauma response. I think I was groomed. One hundred per cent.’Walliams launched a High Court bid to prevent the media reporting the allegations, prompting fevered speculation online about his identity.
