David Walliams has reportedly been offered a multi-million-pound payout from Britain's Got Talent after stepping down over his X-rated rant.
Last November, the former Little Britain star stepped down from his role as a judge on the show after offensive comments he made about contestants were leaked to The Guardian newspaper.The 52 year old is now understood to be about to agree to a large settlement after alleging that the producers recorded his private conversations without his knowledge.
The Sun on Sunday reports how both sides are trying to reach a financial agreement to ‘avoid going to court.’ A source told the publication: “The specific details of the talks are being kept secret for obvious reasons but an agreement is not far off.” David claimed behind-the-scenes staff 'recorded, transcribed and retained' all his conversations during his ten years on the show, despite him having no idea his microphone was 'kept on and recording' throughout.
The comedian is reportedly seeking up to £10million, after claiming that 1,700 hours of audio recordings were collected. He also claims producers recorded a private chat with his fellow judges Alesha Dixon, Simon Cowell, and Amanda Holden about the impact of his father's death.
