Moment David Walliams drops bombshell 'sexual predator' joke live on air

Résumé détaillé

"Well, it's very kind of you to say that, but she isn't really into marrying me," Walliams squirmed. He continued: "The words that she used, I think the phrase she used is she…

David Walliams joked a female friend had described him as "a vile sexual predator" in a television interview. In 2009, he appeared on Alan Carr Chatty Man, where the host addressed his romantic status. Revealing the pair had recently attended a "posh do" together he shared actress and pop star Natalie Imbruglia was with them. "Why don't you marry her and make an honest woman of her?" Carr asked. "She is adorable. You make such a lovely couple," he said.

"Well, it's very kind of you to say that, but she isn't really into marrying me," Walliams squirmed.

He continued: "The words that she used, I think the phrase she used is she said: 'You're a vile sexual predator.' ...Something like that," he said, smiling as the audience laughed.

However, he quickly became serious and said: "No, I know we're just really good friends. It's really important to have some good female friends.

"But she's lovely. I mean, I'd marry her if she wanted to, but she doesn't want to," he concluded.

It comes after Walliams has strongly denied allegations of sexual misconduct made against him by The Guardian and ITN. Walliams denied he abused his power as a celebrity in relationships with women but said he realised he had “behaved thoughtlessly”.

Walliams confessed several times that his feelings for the Australian star were one-sided. They first met in 2009, and he said he quickly developed a "huge crush" on her. However, he began dating model Lara Stone that same year, whom he married in 2010 with Imbruglia in attendance.

A year before his nuptials in 2009 Imbruglia spoke to Express.co.uk about Walliams during a red carpet appearance. "I don't know if he's going to settle down. I give up," she said.

"I'd never be the one to win him over. I counsel him on his relationship woes. I'm just his friend. I can't possibly divulge what he tells me."
