Inside David Walliams’ dating history after he’s accused of sexual misconduct

David Walliams has had several high-profile relationships (Picture: Justin Goff Photos/Getty Images) David Walliams has been named after failing to get a High Court injunction blocking two media outlets from identifying him. While working in the public eye, the former Britain’s Got Talent judge is alleged to have groomed fans he met when they were as young as 15, according to reporting from The Guardian and ITV . Walliams, 55, who is also accused of inappropriate conduct and sexual harassment at Britain’s Got Talent and at the publisher, HarperCollins, denies all allegations. With the comedian’s past under intense scrutiny, his dating history has become the subject of renewed interest. Throughout the 00s and 2010s, Walliams had a series of relationships, including with singers, TV stars, and models. Lisa Snowdon In Walliams’ 2006 memoir, he confessed he was left heartbroken by ‘Miss X’, a mystery woman who was later revealed to be Lisa Snowdon. The TV presenter confirmed she had a relationship with the Little Britain creator briefly in 2005 but just wanted to be friends. It was revealed his ‘Miss X’ was Lisa Snowdon (Picture: Eamonn McCormack/WireImage) ‘I was hoping no one would realise,’ Snowdon told The Sun at the time. ‘David and I are great friends and he’s such an amazing bloke, but there is no romance. ‘David has made it clear he has feelings for me but we’ve got to a point where we can just have a platonic relationship’. Geri Horner Another secret romance was revealed to be with Ginger Spice, aka Geri Horner. After years of being friends, things blossomed into romance. Their pals were sworn to secrecy when they got together in 2007 and it took several weeks before an insider told the press. The leak told The Mirror they had been together since New Year and were ‘very tactile with each other’, calling Walliams ‘a gent’. Walliams and Geri Halliwell remained pals after their short-lived romance (Picture: Sylvia Linares/FilmMagic) After just six weeks, they split but remained friends, with the Spice Girl, 54, appearing on an episode of Come Fly With Me. Now she is married to former racing driver Christian Horner, who she has been with since February 2014. Lauren Budd In 2009, Walliams was photographed kissing Lauren Budd, a then 18-year-old model, in a nightclub. He was 37 at the time. A spokesperson confirmed they split after three months together. Budd said: ‘We have had a friendly kiss – nothing more. We love seeing each other and David is a complete gentleman.’ Lauren Budd was 18 when Walliams was photographed kissing her (Picture: Dave M.

After just four months of dating, he proposed, and on May 16, 2010, they tied the knot at Claridge’s Hotel in a £80,000 ceremony. At the time, his ‘old flame’ Abigail Titmuss said: ‘I’m very pleased for David, but I think he’s only done it to try and upstage Russell [Brand, who had proposed to Katy Perry].’ They later announced they were expecting a child together, with Walliams writing on social media : ‘I’m looking forward to seeing the baby for the first time, seeing this little person who’s a mixture of you and the person you really love. But hopefully it will look like Lara and not Simon Cowell.’ In May 2013, almost three years to the day of their wedding, Lara gave birth to their son , Alfred. In 2010, Walliams married Lara Stone (Picture: Matt Baron/BEI/REX) By September 2015, the couple were divorced. Walliams cited Stone’s ‘unreasonable behaviour’ as ground for the split. They’ve never spoken about the reasons behind the demise of their marriage. Stone has since remarried, tying the knot in 2021 with David Grievson. Natalie Imbruglia Walliams fell ‘like a ton of bricks’ for singer Natalie Imbruglia, 51, after years of friendship, but she ‘friend-zoned’. They sparked romance rumours after they were spotted out together in 2015 on frequent London nights out. He told The Mirror : ‘She’s very much friend-zoned me. You know when that happens, that you have a huge crush on someone and you sort of imagine being married and what your kids look like and all that sort of thing? And you’re just completely friend-zoned. Walliams admitted to ‘falling’ for Natalie Imbruglia (Picture: David M. Benett/Dave Benett/Getty Images) ‘We didn’t go on any dates. We just became very good friends and we hung out together. But you know, it’s hard not to kind of fall for her like a ton of bricks because she is amazing.’ Walliams added: ‘I think I’m seen as the sort of gay best friend by a lot of people.’ Ashley James The same year the rumours of the Imbruglia romance began, Walliams was also linked with Ashley James, 39. They had ‘dined out twice’ that week, with the Made In Chelsea star pictured leaving a restaurant called Sexy Fish alongside the comic. While they had ‘great chemistry’ and had ‘completely hit it off’, nothing more came of the dates. Chloe Ayling In February 2018, Walliams was rumoured to be seeing British model Chloe Ayling, then 20, after reaching out over social media. ‘David orchestrated the meeting and arranged for her to visit his London home,’ a source told The Sun about how the then 45-year-old comedian had met Ayling.

Photographer: S) The year before, Ayling was abducted by people claiming to be from the criminal organisation the Black Death Group. She has since shared her story in the documentary, Chloe Ayling: My Unbelievable Kidnapping. Her abductors were jailed for 16 years. Lou Teasdale While on Britain’s Got Talent, it was reported that Walliams had struck up a relationship with stylist Lou Teasdale, 12 years his junior. They had reportedly started dating in January 2020 and were having a ‘real giggle’ but Walliams called things off. Keeley Hazell Walliams’ last rumoured public relationship was with Keeley Hazell, 40, for nine months in 2020. The former Page 3 model even stayed at his house in the months before lockdown and the pair were later seen at a dinner date in 2021. She went on to date Jason Sudeikis, although they split in 2022, and Walliams then reportedly began sending flirty texts to Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts. Nothing was ever confirmed.

Russell Brand é considerado 'homem marcado' na prisão após condenação por estupro, diz jornal

O comediante britânico Russell Brand, de 51 anos, é considerado um "homem marcado" na penitenciária de Wandsworth, em Londres, onde está detido após ser condenado por estupro e três agressões sexuais, segundo o jornal britânico The Sun. Em reportagem publicada nesta segunda-feira (9), um ex-presidiário que cumpriu pena na instituição afirmou que o ator corre riscos entre os demais detentos e precisaria ser transferido para outra unidade para preservar sua segurança. Russell Brand: ator é condenado a dez anos e seis meses de prisão Revista íntima, comida ruim e monitoramento constante: como foi a primeira noite de Russell Brand na prisão — Se Brand ficar em Wandsworth, ele está em maus lençóis. É um homem morto que caminha — afirmou o ex-detento ao jornal. A fonte não quis se identificar. Brand foi condenado na quinta-feira (5) por crimes cometidos contra quatro mulheres entre 2004 e 2009. Na segunda-feira (9), recebeu uma pena de dez anos de prisão. Ele também foi absolvido de outras três acusações, duas de estupro e uma de tentativa de atentado ao pudor. O comediante negou todas as acusações. Condições da prisão e preocupação com a segurança Segundo o The Sun, Brand está em uma cela individual por preocupações com sua integridade física. O ex-presidiário descreveu Wandsworth como uma prisão violenta, superlotada e marcada por problemas de corrupção. Relatórios de fiscalização citados pelo Page Six também apontaram condições precárias na unidade, que abriga mais de 1,4 mil detentos, embora tenha capacidade certificada para 894. A advogada Kally Sahota, especialista em direito criminal, afirmou ao Page Six que Brand deverá permanecer inicialmente em Wandsworth antes de ser transferido, conforme avaliações de segurança e reabilitação. Ela recomendou que o ator mantenha um perfil discreto e evite confiar rapidamente em outros presos. Culpado por quatro crimes: Entenda as acusações que levaram à condenação de Russell Brand por estupro e agressões sexuais Polícia investiga novas denúncias A condenação também pode ampliar os desdobramentos do caso. A Polícia Metropolitana de Londres confirmou que investiga novas acusações de estupro apresentadas por outras duas mulheres. Em entrevista à BBC, o comissário Mark Rowley afirmou que não ficaria surpreso se novas denunciantes procurassem as autoridades. — Certamente não me surpreenderia se muitas outras denúncias surgirem — declarou. O superintendente Andy Furphy, responsável pela investigação, disse esperar que a condenação encoraje outras mulheres a relatar possíveis abusos. A operação policial, batizada de Actinolite, reuniu mais de 340 depoimentos de testemunhas, incluindo ex-colegas de trabalho e pessoas próximas ao comediante. As primeiras denúncias ganharam repercussão em setembro de 2023, após uma investigação conjunta do The Times, do The Sunday Times e do programa Dispatches, do Channel 4. As reportagens reuniram relatos de mulheres que acusavam Brand de estupro, agressão sexual e abuso emocional. A polícia passou a investigar o artista após a divulgação do material. Da fama em Hollywood à condenação Brand construiu uma carreira como comediante de stand-up e apresentador de televisão no Reino Unido, antes de alcançar projeção internacional no cinema. Ficou conhecido por interpretar Aldous Snow em Ressaca de Amor (2008) e O Pior Trabalho do Mundo (2010), além de atuar em Arthur, o Milionário Irresistível (2011) e dublar personagens nas franquias Meu Malvado Favorito e Trolls. O ator também ganhou notoriedade pelo casamento com a cantora Katy Perry, entre 2010 e 2012. Atualmente, é casado com Laura Gallacher, com quem tem três filhos. Ela acompanhou o julgamento em Londres e prestou depoimento em sua defesa. Durante o processo, a acusação descreveu Brand como um predador sexual que usava a fama e a influência para explorar mulheres. O comediante reconheceu ter tido uma vida sexual promíscua, mas negou qualquer relação sem consentimento. A condenação representa o primeiro desfecho criminal das denúncias que vieram a público em 2023.
