David Walliams Faces Backlash After Alleged Nazi Salute on BBC Show

According to The Times, Walliams made the salutes while his teammate, Call the Midwife star Helen George, told a story. She claimed she sprained her wrist from “waving too much” on Strictly Come Dancing.

When the opposing team joked her wave was “too little,” Walliams reportedly exaggerated his own wave, ending in a Nazi salute. Witnesses say:

• Host Rob Brydonscolded him.
• Walliams later repeated the gesture with a sexual innuendo.
• Fellow panelist Lee Mackappeared unimpressed.

An audience member tweeted:

“I didn’t have David Walliams doing a Nazi salute at the Would I Lie To You? taping on my 2025 bingo card.”
