David Walliams has reduced the asking price of his London mansion by £1.45million, bringing the value of the property to £10.5million, Our News Outlet can reveal.
The 55-year-old comedian and bestselling children’s author has yet to secure a buyer for the six-bedroom home, which went on the market for £11.95million in June.
The property was relisted at its reduced price in October, but it remains unsold after five months on the market.
The television star, whose full name is David Edward Williams, was today identified as the celebrity who sought a court order to suppress allegations that he preyed on teenage girls as young as 15.
Walliams denies the allegations and has largely withdrawn from public life in recent months. His last Instagram post to his two million followers was published in March.
The sharp reduction comes after a series of setbacks for the entertainer, who was dropped by publisher HarperCollins following historical allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women. He strongly denies the claims.
Walliams’s imposing white, stucco-fronted home is located in what Hampstead estate agent Marcus Parfitt describes as one of North London’s ‘most prestigious locations’.
The lavishly furnished residence includes portraits of British icons such as Queen Elizabeth II, Sir Elton John, Sir Michael Caine and David Bowie.
The sales brochure calls the property a ‘beautiful family home’ spanning approximately 4,527 sq ft across several levels.
It says the house has been ‘totally refurbished and extended by the current owner over the last five years’, while preserving ‘a graceful sense of period charm’.

The brochure states: ‘From the moment you step inside, the home reveals a sequence of well-balanced living spaces that reflect its architectural heritage, with elegant fireplaces, decorative cornicing and tall sash windows.’
It continues: ‘The interiors are immaculate and thoughtfully presented, blending timeless character with modern architecture and the benefit of 21st-century technology throughout.’
The substantial residence is also described as being close to open green spaces, cultural attractions and some of the capital’s leading restaurants, shops and transport connections.
Walliams became widely known through Little Britain before taking on roles including a judging position on Britain’s Got Talent and building a highly successful career writing children’s books.
He left Britain’s Got Talent in 2022 after leaked transcripts reportedly revealed him making derogatory and sexually explicit off-air comments about contestants during auditions two years earlier.
Walliams applied to the High Court for an injunction preventing publication of the allegations, saying he would take his own life if they became public.
The television personality and author has been accused of ‘abusing his status’ to pursue ‘inappropriate and exploitative sexual activities’ with ‘a large number’ of women and girls.

Walliams denies any wrongdoing.
One woman, identified as Jade by ITV News and The Guardian, alleges that Walliams sexually assaulted her when she was 15 after contacting her online.
Jade says they met in Soho before he drove her to his home in an Aston Martin. She alleges that the assault took place at Supernova Heights, the mansion Walliams bought from Oasis star Noel Gallagher.

Jade alleged: ‘He asked me to come over and gave me a hug. That’s when he kissed me,’ referring to Walliams, who was 36 at the time.
She said: ‘He lifted my top up and sucked on my breast and then tried to put my hand down his trousers. That’s when I pulled away and said, “No”. He had an erection at the time.’
‘I wasn’t ready for sex. I didn’t want to do that, with him or with anyone. I didn’t want to be touched in that way at all. I mean, I was only a 15-year-old,’ she added.
Jade said she had told him she had previously been sexually abused by another person as a child, and that he replied: ‘Sorry to hear that.’
She said she regarded the alleged incident as ‘sexual assault’ and ‘grooming’, adding: ‘It’s completely wrong in every way.’
Another woman, known only as Alex, alleges that Walliams first contacted her when she was 15 and preparing for mock GCSEs. She had met him at a Little Britain fan event, where he was dressed as his character Lou.
Their meeting was recorded on camera. Alex says they began a sexual relationship about two years later, when she was 17.
Asked how she now feels about him, she said: ‘I want to vomit. I hate him. My body reacts when I think about it. It’s like a trauma response. I think I was groomed. 100 per cent.’
Walliams, a former Britain’s Got Talent judge, 55, launched a High Court bid to stop the media from reporting the allegations, triggering intense online speculation over the celebrity’s identity.
A judge rejected his application last week. Walliams did not appeal before the 4.30pm deadline on Monday, and ITV and The Guardian identified him at midday on Tuesday.
It also emerged last week that the World of David Walliams attraction at Alton Towers will close after only five years.
The attraction opened in May 2021 and is being removed as part of Merlin Entertainments’ annual review of its rides.
Based on Walliams’s children’s books, it included the £21million Gangsta Granny attraction, as well as rides such as Flavio’s Fabulous Fandango and Royal Carousel.
Walliams has sold more than 60 million books around the world.
