Little Britain has been removed from BBC iPlayer just hours after a three-year joint investigation by both ITV News and The Guardian made serious allegations against David Walliams.
Walliams has denied all allegations made against him, with the investigation alleging sexual misconduct involving young women, including two women who met Walliams when they were 15.
A BBC spokesperson had previously confirmed to LADbible they were ‘looking into’ programmes featuring Walliams, but his most famous show has now been taken down.
The statement told LADbible: “These are serious allegations. As such, the BBC is looking carefully at all material featuring and written by David Walliams on our platforms. We are in the process of removing some programmes, including Little Britain, whilst this review is underway.”
Another BBC show, an episode of Who Do You Think You Are, focused on the Britain’s Got Talent judge has also been taken down.

Walliams released a letter to The Guardian and ITV News, saying: “Looking back, I realise that at times I behaved thoughtlessly towards other people I had casual sexual relationships with.
“I realise I did not always take people’s feelings properly into account. That is something I regret. And whilst a power imbalance is inevitable when one party is famous, abusing that power is something else entirely and it is something that I never did.
“I am not a sexual predator. I have not broken the law, but I am devastated that some of the women I met 10 to 20 years ago have now expressed hurt or anger towards me.”
ITV News will air their documentary, titled David Walliams: Power and Silence, tonight at 10.50pm on ITV.
It can be watched now on ITV News’ YouTube channel and covers the three year joint investigation by ITN and The Guardian.

Walliams had previously lost a case to block the publication of the allegations in High Court, though a temporary banning order was put in place which prevented the publication of his name in case he appealed the decision.
Walliams did not make an application to appeal before the deadline for this, leading to ITN and The Guardian publishing the allegations today, 10 November.
Lawyers for The Guardian and ITN had argued that the publication of the allegations was in the public interest, whilst Walliams’ defence claimed that the publication would it was ‘highly likely’ that he would kill himself.
Presiding judge on the case, Mr Justice Nicklin, acknowledged that these claims should be taken seriously but said that they do not ‘establish that suicide is inevitable or that treatment cannot reduce the risk’.
In response to the publication of the allegations Walliams has also been suspended by the Labour party and dropped by the Independent Talent Group.
