Britain’s Got Talent producers have reached an “amicable resolution” with David Walliams after his remarks on the show were leaked.
The comedian and author quit as a judge on the ITV show last year and apologised for offensive comments about contestants during a break in auditions. His off-camera insults came to light after a transcript was leaked to a newspaper.
Walliams, 52, sued producer Fremantle for misuse of private information and breaching data protection laws. High Court documents said the leak caused him psychiatric harm and financial loss.
Fremantle said: “We are pleased that we have achieved an amicable resolution with David. “We are sincerely sorry that his private conversations when a judge on Britain’s Got Talent were published, and the great distress this caused David.”
Walliams was asked for comment.
