Sky has dropped its UK distribution of the fantasy film "Fing!" following sexual harassment allegations against David Walliams, who wrote the children's book, co-wrote the screenplay and co-starred alongside Taika Waititi and Mia Wasikowska.

## Sky's Exit From the Fing! Release

[Fing!](https://www.sky.com) premiered at Sundance and was co-produced as a Sky Original in the UK, with a release date pegged for early 2027. The Comcast-owned network said it is pulling out.

"The allegations made against David Walliams are extremely serious. We have notified the producers of the film of our intention to exit our position as the UK & Ireland licensee of 'Fing,'" a Sky spokesperson told Variety.

The spokesperson added that Sky had "already removed content which features [Walliams] from our platforms." A joint investigation by the Guardian and ITV News accused Walliams of grooming fans as young as 15, with allegations that he invited teenage girls to his house, where they stayed over, and to his dressing rooms. The report, published Tuesday after Walliams failed to get an injunction, also alleges he would "pester" and "pressure" young women, including models and an employee at his publisher HarperCollins, to go out with him and in some cases take part in sexual activity.
