Best-selling young adult author and TV personality David Walliams has parted ways with his UK book publisher, as confirmed by the firm.
A representative for the firm said: "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 move was taken subsequent to an inquiry regarding claims about inappropriate behaviour involving women.
The company declined to specify the reasons for its decision, stating: "It is not our policy to discuss internal matters."
A Prolific Writing Journey
Walliams stands as a most best-selling authors for kids, with sales exceeding over six tens of millions of copies globally in 55 languages.
His inaugural foray into kids' literature, *The Boy in the Dress*, was released through HarperCollins fifteen years ago.
Some of his books, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have subsequently been turned into TV movies.
His bibliography includes in excess of 40 works in total, including a holiday title titled *Santa & Son*, which came out under HarperCollins last autumn.
Television and Literature
He first rose to fame 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 back in 2017 honoring his contributions to charity and the arts.
The publisher's decision comes after the naming of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's recent CEO in October.
