Matt Lucas has been spotted in London for the first time since his longtime comedy partner David Walliams was accused of sexual misconduct involving teenage girls and young women.

The 52-year-old comedian, who rose to fame alongside Walliams in the BBC sketch show Little Britain, was photographed walking through the capital on Friday, days after the allegations became public.

Lucas wrapped up against the chilly November weather in a coat, baseball cap and sunglasses, keeping his head down as he made his way along the street.

The former Great British Bake Off presenter has yet to publicly address the allegations against Walliams, 55, who has denied any wrongdoing.

There is no suggestion that Lucas was aware of his former co-star’s alleged conduct.

His appearance comes amid growing scrutiny of the pair’s professional relationship, with their biggest television success, Little Britain, removed from BBC iPlayer following the publication of a three-year investigation into Walliams.

The comedians became household names in the early 2000s thanks to the sketch series, which first aired on BBC Three in 2003 before moving to BBC One.

They subsequently reunited for the airport comedy Come Fly With Me, although their working relationship eventually deteriorated.

Lucas and Walliams fell out in 2011, with both later speaking publicly about their differences, before reportedly putting their feud behind them following the death of their mutual friend Dale Winton in 2018.
