David Walliams parted ways with publishing house.
Best-selling young adult author and comedian David Walliams is no longer with his publisher HarperCollins UK, as confirmed by the firm.
An official for the company said: "After careful consideration, and following the appointment of its fresh leadership, HarperCollins UK has chosen to cease publishing future works by David Walliams."
Media sources suggest that the decision was taken subsequent to an inquiry regarding allegations of conduct deemed unsuitable towards female individuals.
The publisher has not elaborated on the motivations for this action, noting: "It is not our policy to discuss confidential company decisions."
An Illustrious Literary Career
Walliams is one of the UK's most successful children's authors, with sales exceeding over six tens of millions of copies globally in 55 languages.
The debut children's novel from Walliams, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins fifteen years ago.
A number of his books, such as *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have found new life as television films.
His bibliography includes in excess of 40 works in total, which features a Christmas book called *Santa & Son*, which was published by HarperCollins in October.
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 duties as an arbiter on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He was awarded 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.
