The BBC has axed funding for an animated series of David Walliams' book Gangsta Granny due to 'negative publicity' about the Britain's Got Talent star, according to his legal team
The BBC has reportedly pulled funding from a project involving David Walliams, following his inappropriate comments on Britain's Got Talent, according to High Court documents.
But sources point to the fact that in April 2018, BGT announced all cameras "would now be rolling 24/7". BBC sources declined to say whether it would be commissioned or not. But insiders close to David insist the series is going into production soon and will be broadcast on the BBC. The documents also suggest that "schools, libraries and shops have removed his books" following the leaks, leading to a drop in his sales and royalties income. Fremantle expressed its hope to "resolve the matter amicably", but stated it would "robustly defend" itself if necessary.David also says he had suicidal thoughts after his leaked remarks were made public.
