Make Page Six a Preferred Source Comedian and children’s book author David Walliams has been identified as the “suicidal” celeb accused of sexual misconduct who had been trying to stop publications from revealing his name .

Lawyers for the 55-year-old — who was named Tuesday morning by the Guardian after failing to secure an injunction to prevent his identification — previously told a judge in the UK that their client had made two attempts to take his own life and was threatening to do so again if outed.
