David Walliams has apologized for making "disrespectful statements" about the candidates on Britain's Got Talent.

Agencies
According to a transcript obtained by media houses, BGT judge David Walliams was recorded making sexually graphic and insulting statements during a tape of the ITV program two years ago.

While a statement, he said he wanted to apologize to the people he made rude comments about during breaks in shooting for Britain's Got Talent in 2020. He said those were private chats and, like most conversations with friends, were never intended to be broadcast. Nonetheless, he expressed regret.

Walliams, a judge on the Thames and Syco Entertainment program since 2012, was videotaped using foul language. The senior competitor had engaged the judges in some lighthearted joking in the first instance. However, after they departed the stage following a failed audition, Walliams yelled at them.

According to the media, Walliams' attorneys and producer Thames claimed that the transcripts collected from three episodes should not be released since the remarks were not meant for broadcast and should be treated as private.

The Thames was revealed to the media houses. Walliams was reminded of the program's standards for future professional behaviour. At the same time, Simon Cowell's Syco indicated that while it was ignorant of the comments before the news emerged, it couldn't confirm or deny he had heard them.
