David Walliams was named on 10 November 2026 as the celebrity who had tried to stop The Guardian and ITV News from publishing allegations of sexual misconduct against him, after he missed a 4.30pm deadline on 9 November to take his High Court case to the Court of Appeal. The naming has put the comedian’s past back in the headlines — and with it, the woman he was married to for five years: Dutch supermodel Lara Stone. Walliams denies all the allegations. Stone, meanwhile, made her own headlines on 31 October 2026, when she revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and was undergoing treatment.

Discovered at 12: From a Paris Metro Trip to the Elite Model Look
Lara Catherina Stone was born on 20 December 1983 in Geldrop, Netherlands, and grew up in the nearby town of Mierlo. Her mother, Kathryna, is Dutch and her father, Michael, is English. She was discovered by a modelling scout at the age of 12 during a family trip, in the Paris Metro. At 15 she entered the Elite Model Look competition in 1999 and signed with Elite Model Management, later joining IMG Models in 2006.
The Face of Calvin Klein: Covers, Campaigns and Model of the Year
Stone became one of the most recognisable faces in fashion through campaigns for Calvin Klein, Prada, Chanel, Givenchy, Versace, Louis Vuitton and Fendi. She appeared on the covers of Vogue and W, and was named British Fashion Awards Model of the Year in 2010. She also walked couture shows at New York and Paris Fashion Weeks, and made a cameo in the 2016 film Absolutely Fabulous and the short film En Moi.
Chelsea, Claridge’s and Five Years Married to David Walliams
Stone met Walliams at a Chelsea football match, and the pair began dating in September 2009. They became engaged in January 2010 and married on 16 May 2010 at Claridge’s Hotel in London. Their son, Alfred, was born in May 2013. The couple separated in March 2015 after nearly five years of marriage, and Walliams filed for divorce on 9 September 2015; a decree nisi followed on 10 September 2015 and the marriage ended six weeks later.
The renewed attention on Walliams comes from a three-year joint investigation by The Guardian and ITV News, with allegations dating back to 2003 and some accusers as young as 15. Walliams has said: “I am not a sexual predator. I have not broken the law.” The court did not determine whether the allegations were true. Since the naming, the BBC has been removing some programmes featuring Walliams, including Little Britain, from iPlayer, and his literary agency has dropped him.
