David Walliams' four-bedroom London townhouse has been put up for sale for £10.5 million, following his identification as the celebrity involved in a legal attempt to block inappropriate sexual behaviour allegations from being aired by The Guardian and ITN.
On Tuesday, the 55-year-old was named after a High Court battle, and the outlets have since published claims that Mr Walliams targeted girls and women as young as 15 for sexual purposes. Mr Walliams has strenuously denied the allegations against him.
Property Purchase and Listing Details
The comedian, children's author and former Britain's Got Talent judge bought the property in the "coveted" Regents Park area for £8.45 million in 2013, according to HM Land Registry. It is unclear when the home was put up for sale, but the price was reduced at the start of October, according to a Rightmove listing.
The townhouse is listed as being owned by David Edward Williams, his real name, on official documents. He uses Walliams professionally to avoid a name clash. The home is also given as the service address for Little Britain Limited, of which Mr Walliams is a person with significant control, on Companies House.
Estate Agent's Description
The estate agent's listing said the house "has been totally refurbished and extended by the current owner over the last five years" and "offers generous proportions and a graceful sense of period charm". Interior pictures show a number of trophies on display, including a Pride of Britain Award - won by Mr Walliams in 2006 - and a BBC Sports Personality gong, which he was given in the same year.
The listing adds the home is "an imposing white stucco-fronted residence located on this coveted position opposite Regents Park and London Zoo, just moments from the vibrant open spaces of Primrose Hill". It continues: "This exceptional residence on Prince Albert Road offers a rare opportunity to enjoy elegant, park-side living in one of London's most prestigious locations."
"Arranged over multiple levels and extending to approximately 4,527 sq ft (421 sqm) the property, which has been totally refurbished and extended by the current owner over the last five years, offers generous proportions and a graceful sense of period charm. From the moment you step inside, the home reveals a sequence of well-balanced living spaces that reflect its architectural heritage, with elegant fireplaces, decorative cornicing and tall sash windows."
It continued: "The interiors are immaculate and thoughtfully presented, blending timeless character alongside modern architecture with the benefit of having 21st century technology throughout."
Mr Walliams' Response
Mr Walliams has denied abusing his power as a celebrity in relationships with women but said he realised he had "behaved thoughtlessly". In a statement to the Guardian and ITV News, the comedian said: "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… I am devastated that some of the women I met ten to twenty years ago have now expressed hurt or anger towards me."
Mr Walliams rose to fame in the comedy sketch show Little Britain in the early 2000s alongside co-star Matt Lucas. He went on to become a judge on Britain's Got Talent and a celebrated children's author, although his contract with publisher HarperCollins ended in 2025. Mr Walliams was dropped by the company after allegations were published that he had behaved inappropriately towards young women.
It then emerged earlier this year that a high-profile celebrity had applied for an injunction to prevent The Guardian and ITN from publishing similar allegations. Lawyers claimed the celebrity was a serious risk of taking his own life if named. However, a High Court judge ruled that this was not reason enough to prevent publication, and this afternoon both The Guardian and ITN named the celebrity as Mr Walliams.
