ملخص مفصل

The former Britain's Got Talent worker claimed Walliams' alleged behaviour left her feeling uncomfortable and wanting to avoid him.

A former Britain's Got Talent employee has claimed the comedian referred to her by an offensive nickname while she worked on the ITV talent show. David Walliams has been accused of referring to a female Britain's Got Talent employee as "the arse" while she worked behind the scenes on the popular ITV programme. The allegation emerged in an ITV News documentary, David Walliams: Power and Silence, in which a former member of the production team described feeling uncomfortable around the comedian. The woman, identified as Amy, was 24 when she worked on the show in 2017, during Walliams' ten-year stint as a judge alongside Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon.

Speaking in the documentary, she claimed the television personality made inappropriate remarks about her appearance.

She said: "It made me feel small and almost disembodied, like I was not a person, but just a body."

She also recalled an occasion when another male crew member asked Walliams whether he wanted a drink.

According to Amy, the comedian responded: "Yeah, get the one with the arse to bring it to me."

Describing another interaction, she claimed: "The one interaction I had with him before I started avoiding him, he'd been staring at my chest rather than acknowledging me as a person."

She added: "I didn't like being in that environment, having someone speak about you like that and not having anyone bat an eyelid.

Walliams told ITV News he did not recall making the alleged remark or staring at Amy's chest.

He also rejects allegations that he behaved inappropriately or sexually harassed anyone while working on Britain's Got Talent.
