David Walliams is under investigation after he provoked a storm of complaints with a sacuy TV gag.
The Little Britain funnyman made an appearance on the Chris Moyles' Quiz Night gameshow on Channel 4 in late October and during the programme, he made a joke about wanting to perform a sexual act on a member of boyband One Direction.
The gag prompted a flurry of complaints from viewers and executives at watchdog Ofcom are now investigating whether the remark breached the broadcasting code, according to the Sunday Telegraph.
An Ofcom spokesman says: "We will assess the complaints against the Broadcasting Code, the rule book of standards which broadcasters must adhere to."
