David Walliams' four-bedroom London townhouse is on sale for £10.5million as he faces claims that he preyed on teenage fans for sex.

He was today (November 10) unmasked as the celebrity involved in a legal attempt to stop inappropriate sexual behaviour allegations being aired by the Guardian and ITN.

After a High Court battle, the outlets published the allegations, claiming Walliams targeted girls and women as young as 15 for sex.

The comedian, children's author and former Britain's Got Talent judge bought the property in the "coveted" Regents Park area for £8.45million in 2013, according to HM Land Registry.

It is unclear when the home went on sale, but its price was cut at the start of October, according to a Rightmove listing.

The townhouse is listed as being owned by David Edward Williams, Walliams' 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 Walliams is a person with significant control, on Companies House.

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 trophies including Walliams' 2006 Pride of Britain Award and BBC Sports Personality gong.

The listing describes the home as “an imposing white stucco-fronted residence” opposite Regent's Park and London Zoo, close to Primrose Hill.

It said: "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 4527 sq ft, (421 sq. mts) 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.

"The interiors are immaculate and thoughtfully presented, blending timeless character alongside modern architecture with the benefit of having 21st century technology throughout."

Walliams rose to fame on the sketch show Little Britain alongside Matt Lucas in the early 2000s.

He later became a Britain's Got Talent judge and a bestselling children's author, but HarperCollins ended his publishing deal in 2025.

HarperCollins dropped Walliams after allegations that he had behaved inappropriately towards young women were published.

Earlier this year, it emerged that a high-profile celebrity had sought an injunction to stop the Guardian and ITN publishing similar allegations.

Lawyers claimed the celebrity was at serious risk of suicide if named.

However a High Court judge ruled this was not reason enough to prevent publication and, this afternoon, both the Guardian and ITN named the celebrity as Walliams.

He denies the allegations against him, the news outlets said.

In 2019, Walliams publicly supported the 'Save Our Libraries Essex' campaign, sharing a photo of himself holding a sign to oppose proposed library closures.
