Actor Says David Walliams Sexually Humiliated Him on Stage

Footage on the Little Britain Live DVD shows Edwards on the floor, trying to pull his jeans up while Walliams crouches over him and stops him. Walliams then climbs on top of him and begins humping him.

Edwards said he was asked to take part the day after Blue singer Duncan pulled out. He was allegedly told Walliams would try to pull his trousers down, but he did not know his genitals would be exposed.

"Then he mounted me and sexually humiliated me. I was sexually humiliated. It got a massive laugh," Edwards claimed in an interview. He added: "I couldn't get him off. I'm 6ft 2ins but he's a big guy and very strong."

Why he is speaking now

Edwards said he long believed the exposure was an accident. Years later he was shown videos of Walliams doing the same sketch with members of the public on tour, pulling down their underwear.

A video of Walliams pulling down the trousers and pants of a 16-year-old resurfaced in 2020. It showed the teenager struggling to hide his genitals.

"It wasn't an accident that my pants got pulled down," Edwards said. "I feel stupid that I felt I couldn't say anything." He said members of the public must feel the experience "magnified ten fold."

Edwards claimed Walliams has never apologised. The comedian addressed the moment in a 2011 magazine interview and called it an accident.

"His pants came down at the same time, which was a mistake," Walliams said then. "It's a very easy mistake to make! But I did expose him to thousands of people at London's Hammersmith Apollo. I did feel bad about it afterwards. But not that bad."

Edwards said consent is the heart of the matter. "If I had known I was going to have my genitals exposed in front of all those people then put on a DVD which has sold millions of copies and then for it for now to be on the internet for the rest of my life I wouldn't have done it for a million years," he said.
