EL James has delighted fans all over the world as she reveals there is a brand new Fifty Shades book on the way, this time from the point of view of Christian Grey…

“This book is dedicated to those readers who asked…and asked… and asked… and asked for this," James said of the news.

“Christian is a complex character and readers have always been fascinated by his desires and motivations, and his troubled past," she added.

"Also, as anyone who has ever been in a relationship knows, there are two sides to every story. It’s been a great pleasure to return to my happy place – writing, being with Christian and Ana in their universe, and working with the fantastic publishing teams in the US and the UK.”

It's even being released on Christian Grey's birthday, June 18. So be sure to prepare yourselves for a stampede, bookshops. And certain online e-reader websites.

Let the 17 day countdown commence.
