Geri Horner wants to pen a smutty novel

Speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, she spilled: "I'd like to write something you wouldn't want your children to read.

"You'd be, like, 'No, that's too rude'. I'd like to write something filthy.

When asked if she means "Porn?", she replied: "Got it."

The 52-year-old singer expressing her desire to pen an erotic tale comes after she previously admitted she was keen to study English or History at university.

The pop star missed out on the chance to go to university when she was young because she was busy chasing her dream of working in the entertainment industry but admitted she longs to continue learning and she's thinking about taking a course to help her expand her knowledge.

Speaking on the 'Headliners' podcast, she explained: "Education is like your superpower in your back pocket. I am so grateful that I have had one.

I was thinking about maybe going back to education. I think so at some point - English or history. I'd probably study the Tudors and Anne Boleyn because I feel she was shamed for being smart. If you really unpack that narrative, she was completely thrown under the bus."

In 2022, Geri was awarded an honorary degree from Sheffield Hallam University in recognition of her activism.

The 'Say You'll Be There' hitmaker returned to the same university last year to give a guest lecture to creative writing and marketing students about how she wrote her first children's novel 'Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen'.

Geri said: "It was wonderful to return to Sheffield Hallam and speak about my journey as an author. I'm so impressed by the talent and passion I see in these young writers, and I hope I can inspire them to pursue their dreams just as I have. Education truly empowers us to achieve our potential."
