David Walliams lost his contract with book publisher.
Best-selling writer for children and entertainer David Walliams is no longer with his UK book publisher, the company has said.
An official for the publisher commented: "Following a thorough review, and with the guidance of its fresh leadership, HarperCollins UK has chosen to cease publishing future works by David Walliams."
Media sources suggest that the decision was made after an review of allegations of inappropriate behaviour involving women.
The company declined to specify the specific rationale behind the move, adding: "It is not our policy to discuss private personnel issues."
A Prolific Literary Career
Walliams stands as a most best-selling authors for kids, boasting over in excess of 60 million copies globally in five dozen languages.
The debut children's novel from Walliams, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins fifteen years ago.
A number of his titles, such as *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have subsequently been turned into television films.
He has published in excess of 40 works in total, which features a holiday title named *Santa & Son*, which was published by HarperCollins last autumn.
From Screen to Page
He first rose to fame on the television comedy show *Little Britain* and has additionally received National Television Awards for his role as a panelist on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He received an OBE several years ago 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 last fall.
