George Hook had erotic novel rejected by publishers

Rugby pundit and Newstalk presenter George Hook has hit the headlines today by revealing he "made a stab" at an erotic novel, but it had been rejected by a publisher.

The 72-year-old hit the front page of the Irish Sun today after a conversation about fan fiction on his Newstalk show The Right Hook last Friday took a strange left turn.

Hook was speaking on the subject with guest James Dempsey and the two were discussing how EL James' smash hit novel Fifty Shades of Grey was born from Twilight fan fiction.
