David Walliams lost his contract with book publisher.
Prolific children's author and entertainer David Walliams has parted ways with his publisher HarperCollins UK, as confirmed by the firm.
A representative for the company commented: "Upon deliberation, and under the leadership of its recently appointed chief executive, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish additional books by David Walliams."
It has been reported that the move was reached following an investigation into allegations of questionable actions involving women.
The publisher declined to specify the motivations for this action, noting: "We do not comment on confidential company decisions."

He has published in excess of 40 works in total, encompassing a festive story named *Santa & Son*, which came out under HarperCollins in October.
