The Metropolitan Police has launched an investigation into David Walliams over alleged sexual offences.
The force said on Friday it had received several allegations of "non-recent serious sexual offences" involving a man now in his 50s.
The allegations are separate from those reported earlier this week by ITV News and The Guardian, which Walliams denies.

But police added they are still "proactively reviewing" recent reports "to establish whether there is any evidence of offences".
