A single mum has published a book called '50 Shades Of Mel and Barry' describing about her X-rated escapades with her "chav" partner.
Mel Dutton had caused a storm with her '50 Shades Of Chav' online posts but the raunchy stories have now turned into a book, the Daily Star reported.
The 37-year-old woman was inspired to write by seeing the success of the book '50 Shades of Grey' by E.L.James.
In her book, she has sex romps in back alleys behind her local Iceland store and pulls boyfriends while waiting in the Job Centre queue.
Dutton, who grew up on estates in London and Tyneside, said that the book is mainly about going without and struggling with money, adding that there's a chapter called The Bailiffs, which is actually based on her life growing up.
She added that Mel and Barry have been an escape for her and a way of laughing at herself.
