Muchamore’s fellow children’s novelist James Dawson, who recently published a non-fiction guide for LGBT young people, This Book is Gay, added : “I am disappointed to see a role model for so many young people, use homophobic language on his public Facebook. “Just removed from my ‘books I need to buy my kids’ list,” wrote the comedian Dom Joly on Twitter in response.
He took the comments down after they attracted heavy criticism.
