David Walliams unmasked: How the actor abused his power and fame

On Tuesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss the accusations facing David Walliams, the actor and author, exploring how the exposé was finally published and the star’s response.

With Walliams’s attempts to silence the media with an injunction having failed, Tim and Camilla discuss the futility of court order prevention orders.

And, as the Metropolitan Police says “several people” contacted them about possible criminal allegations against Russell Brand during his trial, Tim and Camilla look at the role of celebrity in enabling bad behaviour.
