Comedian and author David Walliams dropped by book publisher.
Acclaimed young adult author and comedian David Walliams is no longer with his UK book publisher, the company has said.
A spokesman for the publisher commented: "Following a thorough review, and under the leadership of its fresh leadership, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish any new titles by David Walliams."
Reports indicate that the decision was taken subsequent to an investigation into reports of inappropriate behaviour towards young women.
The firm declined to specify the specific rationale behind the move, adding: "We do not comment on confidential company decisions."
An Illustrious Literary Career
Walliams stands as a most successful children's authors, having sold in excess of 60 million copies globally in 55 languages.
His first children's book, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins fifteen years ago.
Some of his titles, such as *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have found new life as TV movies.
He has published in excess of 40 works combined, including a festive story named *Santa & Son*, which was released through HarperCollins last autumn.
Television and Literature
His career breakthrough occurred on the TV sketch series *Little Britain* and has been honored with National Television Awards for his work as a judge on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He was awarded an OBE in 2017 in recognition of his work for philanthropic and artistic endeavors.
This move occurs subsequent to the naming of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's freshly installed boss in October.
