David Walliams dropped by publishing house.
Best-selling writer for children and entertainer David Walliams is no longer with his publisher HarperCollins UK, as confirmed by the firm.
An official for the publisher commented: "After careful consideration, and under the leadership of its recently appointed chief executive, HarperCollins UK will not be releasing any new titles by David Walliams."
Media sources suggest that the conclusion was made after an inquiry regarding reports of conduct deemed unsuitable involving women.
The firm has not elaborated on the specific rationale behind the move, adding: "We refrain from speaking about confidential company decisions."
An Illustrious Publishing History
Walliams is one of the UK's most successful children's authors, boasting over more than 60 million copies globally in five dozen languages.
His first children's book, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins in 2008.
Some of his works, such as *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have also been adapted into TV movies.
He has published in excess of 40 works in total, which features a Christmas book called *Santa & Son*, which was released through HarperCollins in October.
Television and Literature
His initial claim to fame came on the television comedy show *Little Britain* and has additionally received National Television Awards for his duties as an arbiter on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He was awarded an OBE in 2017 for his services to charity and the arts.
This development follows the naming of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's new chief executive this past October.
