The children's author David Walliams lost his contract with book publisher.
Best-selling writer for children and entertainer David Walliams is no longer with his publisher HarperCollins UK, as confirmed by the firm.
A representative for the company commented: "Following a thorough review, and under the leadership of its fresh leadership, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish future works by David Walliams."
Media sources suggest that the conclusion was taken subsequent to an inquiry regarding claims about conduct deemed unsuitable involving young women.
The company did not confirm the motivations for this action, noting: "It is not our policy to discuss internal matters."
A Prolific Publishing History
Walliams stands as a most successful children's authors, having sold in excess of 60 million copies worldwide in five dozen languages.
His first children's book, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins back in 2008.
A number of his works, including *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have found new life as TV movies.
To date, he has released more than 40 books altogether, encompassing a Christmas book called *Santa & Son*, which was published by HarperCollins this past October.
Television and Literature
He first rose to fame on the TV sketch series *Little Britain* and has also won National Television Awards for his role as a panelist on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He received an OBE in 2017 honoring his contributions to the charitable sector and arts community.
The publisher's decision comes after the selection of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's freshly installed boss this past October.
