Best-selling children’s author and comedian David Walliams has been dropped by his publisher HarperCollins, the company has said.
A spokesman for the publisher said: “After careful consideration, and under the leadership of its new CEO, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish any new titles by David Walliams.”
The Telegraph reported that the decision was made after an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards young women.
HarperCollins did not confirm the reasons for its decision, adding: “We do not comment on internal matters.” Walliams has not yet responded to the decision or the Telegraph report.
