Comedian and author David Walliams lost his contract with book publisher.
Acclaimed writer for children and entertainer David Walliams has parted ways with his UK book publisher, as confirmed by the firm.
A spokesman for the publisher said: "Upon deliberation, and following the appointment of its fresh leadership, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish future works by David Walliams."
Media sources suggest that the decision was made after an inquiry regarding reports of inappropriate behaviour towards women.
The company did not confirm the reasons for its decision, stating: "We do not comment on confidential company decisions."
A Highly Successful Writing Journey
Walliams stands as a most best-selling authors for kids, having sold over six tens of millions of copies globally in five dozen languages.
His inaugural foray into kids' literature, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins fifteen years ago.
Several of his books, such as *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have found new life as small-screen adaptations.
His bibliography includes more than 40 books combined, encompassing a festive story named *Santa & Son*, which was published by HarperCollins this past October.
From Screen to Page
His career breakthrough occurred on the broadcast sketch program *Little Britain* and has been honored with National Television Awards for his role as a panelist on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He received an OBE back in 2017 in recognition of his work for charity and the arts.
This move occurs subsequent to the naming of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's recent CEO this past October.
