Sky Exits Fing! as Producers Remove David Walliams Cameo

The producers of Fing! said Walliams’ cameo would be cut from the film and its marketing, and that he would have no role in its release or promotion. Sky, which had been the film’s UK and Ireland licensee, said it was withdrawing and had removed content featuring him from its platforms.

The fantasy film, which premiered at Sundance, also stars Taika Waititi and Mia Wasikowska. Angel is set to release it in the United States in early January; the UK release had been planned for early 2027.

The move followed allegations that Walliams pursued girls and young women for sexual purposes, including people as young as 15. Women accused him of inviting teenagers to his home and dressing rooms, and of pressuring young women to go out with him or engage in sexual activity.

Walliams denies being a “sexual predator” or breaking the law. The allegations were made public after he failed to obtain an injunction preventing their publication.

The BBC has also said it will take shows featuring Walliams, along with titles he scripted such as Little Britain, off its streaming service. His agency has dropped him.
