David Walliams dropped by publishing house.
Acclaimed young adult author and TV personality David Walliams has been dropped by his publisher HarperCollins UK, the company has said.
An official for the firm said: "After careful consideration, and following the appointment 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 review of claims about conduct deemed unsuitable towards women.
The company declined to specify the motivations for this action, adding: "We do not comment on internal matters."
A Prolific Writing Journey
Walliams stands as a most successful children's authors, boasting over over six tens of millions of copies internationally in five dozen languages.
His inaugural foray into kids' literature, *The Boy in the Dress*, was released through HarperCollins fifteen years ago.
A number of his titles, including *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have also been adapted into TV movies.
He has published over four dozen titles in total, encompassing a holiday title called *Santa & Son*, which came out under HarperCollins last autumn.
Television and Literature
His initial claim to fame came on the television comedy show *Little Britain* and has also won National Television Awards for his role as a panelist on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He was made an OBE back in 2017 for his services to charity and the arts.
This development follows the naming of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's recent CEO this past October.
