Bestselling author Sophie Gravia is no stranger to racy, blush-inducing fiction.

She has made it her job to expose the hilarious complexities of modern dating in her series of hit books.

Titles including A Glasgow Kiss, Hot Girl Summer and her latest release, The Dicktionary Club, have propelled her to cult status amongst her fans.

But despite being open-minded enough to front a new BBC Sounds podcast about relationships, the NHS nurse admitted she draws the line at letting her family into her written world.

Sophie said: "I don't allow my mum and dad to read the books."
