David Walliams's attempt to prevent ITN and The Guardian from publishing allegations against him has failed, allowing the comedian and author to be named, LBC reports.

James O'Brien and reporter Joseph Draycott focus on the legal decision behind the joint investigation. According to their account, the High Court rejected Walliams's application for an injunction, with the potential contribution of the reporting to public debate forming part of the court's reasoning.

The investigation includes allegations that Walliams used his celebrity status to pursue teenage girls and young women, including girls as young as 15. Walliams denies all wrongdoing, including criminal activity, and says accusations that he coerced or manipulated people into sex are false.

Draycott reads from Walliams's statement: "I am not a sexual predator. I have not broken the law." Later, O'Brien reads his acknowledgement that he had sometimes behaved thoughtlessly, alongside his denial that he abused his power.

Where other coverage centres on the women's accounts, this segment explains the unsuccessful effort to prevent those accounts being published. The injunction decision concerns publication, not a criminal determination of the allegations. LBC's report drew about 399,000 views since yesterday.
