Walliams’ abrupt exit from the show, which was never formally announced, came after thestar was forced to apologise for making “disrespectful comments” about auditioning contestants during breaks in filming for the popular show in January 2020.

These were private conversations and – like most conversations with friends – were never intended to be shared. Nevertheless, I am sorry.”

Thames TV, part of FremantleMedia, said at the time: “Although relating to a private conversation almost three years ago, the language used was inappropriate. “Even though it was private, those involved have been spoken to and reminded of their responsibilities and the show’s expectations as to future professional conduct.”, said at the time: “We were unaware of the alleged conversation until contacted by the Guardian, and whilst it is not suggested Simon heard the alleged remarks, we can confirm he did not.
