Jonathan Ross Reacts to Allegations about David Walliams and Russell Brand

The Metropolitan Police has told ITV News it is inviting any potential alleged victims of David Walliams to come forward.

Following the publication of ITV News and the Guardian's investigation, it is understood the Met Police has a team looking into the matter.

It comes after a three-year joint investigation, published on Tuesday after Walliams' High Court injunction bid was dismissed, revealed allegations dating back to 2003 that Walliams preyed on teenage girls and young women for sexual purposes.

In response to the investigation, a spokesperson for Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said the government is convening senior members of the media and entertainment industry to "put a stop to abuses of power".

He also described the allegations against Walliams as "deeply troubling".

The investigation was brought up in the House of Commons on Wednesday, with Women and Equalities spokesperson for the Liberal Democrats Marie Goldman asking Minister for Women and Equalities Bridget Phillipson if she would meet in order to discuss how government can work to "end this manipulation of the justice system by rich and powerful men who try to silence their victims".
