BBC Condemns David Walliams' Nazi Salute on Comedy Show
Imagine a comedian named David Walliams made a really offensive hand gesture during a TV show taping.
It was like a Nazi salute, which is a symbol of hate.
The TV station, the BBC, and the company that makes the show both said this was totally wrong.
They apologized to anyone who was there and said they won't show that part on TV.
The comedian has been in trouble before for making mean comments.
David Walliams allegedly performed a Nazi salute during the recording of 'Would I Lie To You?'.
The BBC and Banijay UK condemned Walliams' actions, deeming it 'unacceptable'.
The incident occurred while Call The Midwife actress Helen George was on stage.
