David Walliams dropped by publishing house.
Prolific young adult author and entertainer David Walliams is no longer with his longtime publishing house, the company has said.
An official for the publisher commented: "Following a thorough review, and with the guidance of its fresh leadership, HarperCollins UK will not be releasing any new titles by David Walliams."
It has been reported that the conclusion was made after an investigation into reports of inappropriate behaviour involving young women.
The publisher declined to specify the reasons for its decision, stating: "We refrain from speaking about confidential company decisions."
A Prolific Literary Career
Walliams ranks among Britain's most best-selling authors for kids, with sales exceeding over six tens of millions of copies internationally in 55 languages.
His first children's book, *The Boy in the Dress*, was released through HarperCollins fifteen years ago.
Several of his works, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have found new life as television films.
He has published over four dozen titles altogether, encompassing a holiday title titled *Santa & Son*, which came out under HarperCollins last autumn.
Television and Literature
His initial claim to fame came 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 was awarded an OBE in 2017 for his services to philanthropic and artistic endeavors.
This move occurs subsequent to the appointment of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's new chief executive this past October.
