United KingdomBBC News - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6m2d0e91e18t?app-referrer=push-notification David Walliams named as celebrity who tried to block publication of sexual misconduct allegations - BBC News
I've never heard of this man in my life. Should I have? It was being made a big deal of with all the articles about him not wanting to get named.
He’s very prominent in comedy, film, TV and childrens literature.
Never much liked Jimmy Saville when I was a kid. Never much liked Walliams either. Something just wrong about both of them.
Not that I had any kind of flawless perspective on pervs, Rolf Harris was a bit of a surprise, as was The Prince Formerly Known As Andrew, though possibly because I never paid any attention to him at all.
I can’t honestly say I’m surprised.
Everyone knew, but there was an injunction preventing UK media from naming him. The Guardian clearly had this story all ready to go the moment it was lifted:

There was a request for an injunction in England and Wales, but it failed, which is why it was reported on in Scotland earlier, and now in England today.
Mmm, computer says, “get fucked.”
Fork found in kitchen
...his lawyers arguing if the allegations were made public he would kill himself
He's been sectioned and is in a psych ward so you may be waiting for a while.
Not "might", "would". Although they didn't specify a timeline, so we could be waiting for decades.
Girls? Wasn't expecting that.
This comment straight out of the twentieth century.
The worst kept secret of the past week
Last week if you searched for high court celebreity you inevitably found a shadow cut out of David Walliams.
If you used a VPN it straight up named him
Of the last two months. A legal roundup reported on it back in September naming him, The Guardian and ITN.
It was initially listed in the court schedule under his birth name.
I remember seeing that, which made the injunction process seem altogether redundant
And the crowd goes mild!
Literally just said he was next, I know. I know the sky is also grey
