David Walliams' unprecedented legal battle not to be named in relation to allegations against him went downhill as he tried to secure a permanent injunction.

He was named by the Guardian and ITN because he had no sound legal reason to prevent the news organisations' investigation from being published. In response to the allegations included, Walliams said he was "not a sexual predator" and had not "broken the law".
