The children's author David Walliams dropped by publishing house.
Prolific young adult author and comedian David Walliams is no longer with his UK book publisher, as confirmed by the firm.
A representative for the publisher commented: "Upon deliberation, and under the leadership of its new CEO, HarperCollins UK has chosen to cease publishing additional books by David Walliams."
It has been reported that the move was reached following an review of claims about questionable actions towards young women.
The firm did not confirm the motivations for this action, noting: "It is not our policy to discuss internal matters."
A Prolific Publishing History
Walliams is one of the UK's most best-selling authors for kids, with sales exceeding over six tens of millions of copies internationally in dozens of tongues.
The debut children's novel from Walliams, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins in 2008.
Some of his titles, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have found new life as small-screen adaptations.
He has published over four dozen titles combined, which features a Christmas book named *Santa & Son*, which came out under HarperCollins last autumn.
From Screen to Page
He first rose to fame on the broadcast sketch program *Little Britain* and has been honored with National Television Awards for his duties as an arbiter on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He was made an OBE in 2017 for his services to philanthropic and artistic endeavors.
This development follows the appointment of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's freshly installed boss last fall.
