David Walliams lost his contract with book publisher.
Acclaimed young adult author and entertainer David Walliams is no longer with his UK book publisher, the company has said.
An official for the publisher stated: "After careful consideration, and with the guidance of its fresh leadership, HarperCollins UK will not be releasing future works by David Walliams."
Media sources suggest that the conclusion was made after an inquiry regarding allegations of questionable actions towards female individuals.
The publisher did not confirm the reasons for its decision, stating: "We refrain from speaking about internal matters."
A Prolific Writing Journey
Walliams ranks among Britain's most successful children's authors, having sold over six tens of millions of 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 more than 40 books altogether, including a Christmas book called *Santa & Son*, which was released through HarperCollins in October.
Television and Literature
His career breakthrough occurred on the TV sketch series *Little Britain* and has additionally received National Television Awards for his duties as an arbiter on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He was made an OBE several years ago for his services to charity and the arts.
This move occurs subsequent to the naming of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's freshly installed boss this past October.
