Cecelia Ahern

?With romance publishers Mills & Boon branching out into explicit erotica, Ireland's best-selling chick-lit novelist Cecelia Ahern says she has no intention of going beneath the bed covers for her next page turner.

Launching her latest book The Gift in The Mansion House, Cecelia told me: "I don't write sex scenes in my books and neither am I going to start. That's because there's no story I've written yet which has required a sex scene. I think my books will continue to not require sex scenes and I'm not going to put one in just for the sake of it."

Despite having best-selling novels, a screenplay and a TV series, the author says there's one book she has no plans to write – an autobiography.

What a fairy story that would be, with an ex-taoiseach and member of Westlife to use for a subplot.
