David Walliams lost his contract with longtime publisher.
Acclaimed children's author and TV personality David Walliams has parted ways with his UK book publisher, according to an announcement.
A representative for the publisher stated: "After careful consideration, and following the appointment of its recently appointed chief executive, HarperCollins UK will not be releasing any new titles by David Walliams."
Media sources suggest that the move was reached following an investigation into claims about questionable actions directed at women.
The company did not confirm the motivations for this action, stating: "We do not comment on internal matters."
An Illustrious Writing Journey
Walliams stands as a most best-selling authors for kids, boasting over more than 60 million copies internationally in 55 languages.
The debut children's novel from Walliams, *The Boy in the Dress*, was released through HarperCollins back in 2008.
Some of his works, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have also been adapted into TV movies.
He has published over four dozen titles combined, which features a festive story called *Santa & Son*, which was released through HarperCollins last autumn.
From Screen to Page
He first rose to fame on the TV sketch series *Little Britain* and has also won National Television Awards for his work as a judge on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He was made an OBE several years ago for his services to the charitable sector and arts community.
This development follows the naming of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's freshly installed boss last fall.
