'Police launch investigation' into Walliams and Piddington asylum 'betrayal'

Image caption, Saturday's Daily Mirror is one of a number of papers leading on the Metropolitan Police launching an investigation into David Walliams over reports of "alleged serious sexual offences". The force said it was investigating allegations which were separate to those reported by ITV News and the Guardian earlier this week, but that detectives were also "proactively reviewing that reporting to establish whether there is any evidence of offences". Walliams said he was "not a sexual predator" and had not "broken the law" after those allegations were first reported.

Image caption, "New sex offence claims" is the headline on the Daily Star's front page, as it too splashes on the Met's investigation into Walliams. The force said it had received a "number of allegations of non-recent serious sexual offences", the paper reports.
