The children's author David Walliams lost his contract with book publisher.
Acclaimed writer for children and entertainer David Walliams has parted ways with his UK book publisher, as confirmed by the firm.
A representative for the publisher commented: "Following a thorough review, and under the leadership of its fresh leadership, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish additional books by David Walliams."
Reports indicate that the decision was taken subsequent to an investigation into claims about questionable actions towards female individuals.
The firm declined to specify the reasons for its decision, stating: "We do not comment on internal matters."

Walliams stands as a most prolific writers for young readers, with sales exceeding in excess of 60 million copies globally in dozens of tongues.
His first children's book, *The Boy in the Dress*, was published by HarperCollins in 2008.
Several of his works, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have subsequently been turned into TV movies.
He has published over four dozen titles combined, encompassing a Christmas book called *Santa & Son*, which came out under HarperCollins last autumn.

He first rose to fame on the television comedy show *Little Britain* and has been honored with National Television Awards for his duties as an arbiter on *Britain's Got Talent*.

This development follows the naming of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's new chief executive this past October.
