Comedian and author David Walliams parted ways with publishing house.

Acclaimed writer for children and comedian David Walliams is no longer with his publisher HarperCollins UK, according to an announcement.

An official for the company stated: "After careful consideration, and with the guidance of its recently appointed chief executive, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish any new titles by David Walliams."

The debut children's novel from Walliams, *The Boy in the Dress*, was released through HarperCollins fifteen years ago.

To date, he has released more than 40 books combined, encompassing a Christmas book named *Santa & Son*, which came out under HarperCollins last autumn.
