The BBC has confirmed it is removing several programmes featuring David Walliams from its iPlayer service following allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct against the comedian.
Walliams was identified yesterday as the celebrity who had obtained a court order seeking to suppress allegations that he had abused his position to exploit teenage girls and young women.
The allegations were revealed following a three-year joint investigation by ITV News and The Guardian, which detailed claims dating back to 2003.
Several women have accused the comedian of grooming, while one woman described an alleged encounter with him when she was 15 as a sexual assault.
Following the reports, the BBC confirmed it is reviewing all material featuring or written by Walliams across its platforms.
A BBC spokesperson said: "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 under way."
Alongside Little Britain and the airport mockumentary Come Fly With Me, episodes of The Wheel and Would I Lie To You? featuring Walliams have also been removed from BBC iPlayer.
The broadcaster has not confirmed how long the review will take or whether further programmes will be removed.
