David Walliams lost his contract with book publisher.
Prolific young adult author and entertainer David Walliams is no longer with his longtime publishing house, as confirmed by the firm.
A spokesman for the company commented: "Following a thorough review, and with the guidance of its new CEO, HarperCollins UK will not be releasing additional books by David Walliams."
Media sources suggest that the conclusion was taken subsequent to an inquiry regarding reports of questionable actions towards women.
The firm declined to specify the specific rationale behind the move, adding: "It is not our policy to discuss internal matters."
A Highly Successful Writing Journey
Walliams ranks among Britain's most prolific writers for young readers, having sold more than 60 million copies worldwide in five dozen languages.
His first children's book, *The Boy in the Dress*, was published by HarperCollins back in 2008.
Several of his books, including *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have subsequently been turned into TV movies.
He has published in excess of 40 works combined, including a Christmas book named *Santa & Son*, which came out under HarperCollins this past October.
Television and Literature
His initial claim to fame came on the television comedy show *Little Britain* and has also won National Television Awards for his role as a panelist on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He was awarded an OBE back in 2017 in recognition of his work for philanthropic and artistic endeavors.
The publisher's decision comes after the naming of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's freshly installed boss in October.
