Overview
- Walliams gave two Nazi salutes while recording the Would I Lie To You? Christmas special at Pinewood Studios on June 10.
- Host Rob Brydon reprimanded Walliams on set, and fellow panellists and the live audience reacted with shock and discomfort.
- BBC and Banijay UK spokespersons labelled the gestures “completely unacceptable” and apologised to those present.
- Producers at Zeppotron confirmed the salutes will be cut from the final broadcast and will not appear in this year’s special.
