Online listing due to 'human error'

A forthcoming book by Dapper Laughs advertised in online stores including Amazon and Foyles is not being published.
Dappers Laughs Little Black Book had been listed as due to be released in February by publishers Hodder & Stoughton, priced £12.99.
However the company says that is not the case, and that its appearance online was due to human error.
They say they never sealed a deal on buying the rights to the book, rather than being swayed by the current controversy in which 50,000 people signed an online petition saying his comedy was misogynistic.
A spokesman told Chortle: ‘We never bought it. Although we offered for it back in early September, we didn’t ever reach agreement.
‘Human error, we now realise, caused the wrong box to be ticked here at too early a stage and material then unfortunately fed online that shouldn’t have done. We regret the confusion.’
ITV2 last night announced that his series Dappers Laughs On The Pull would not be renewed citing ‘activities outside of the ITV2 programme’.It came after footage emerged of him ‘bantering’ with an audience member that she was ‘gagging for a rape’
