Blunder turns Bridget into Del Boy’s Diary!
IT IS the kind of error that would have left Bridget Jones herself feeling v v embarrassed and resolving to try harder.
Readers of the latest instalment of the hapless singleton’s diary were astonished to discover Bridget’s reflections on life and love interrupted by 40 pages of Sir David Jason’s memoirs.
Fans reported getting to the middle of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy only to find their narrator replaced with Del Boy.
A spokesman for publishers Vintage said: ‘The printers have had a Bridget moment. Copies printed on one day have given readers an accidental preview of David Jason’s autobiography.
‘We are taking steps to remove these copies from sale.’
Both books were released yesterday, and Bridget Jones author Helen Fielding said chunks of her work had also appeared in some copies of Sir David’s My Life.
While it remains to be seen whether Bridget has finally got to grips with her fitness regime in the third book, her creator has certainly succeeded – losing 5lb.
The 55-year-old mother of two was seen decked out in gym gear as she headed for a workout near her north London home.
She teamed her leggings and sweater with slightly less practical biker boots – but would no doubt have kicked them off when she arrived at her Pilates class.
Miss Fielding has revealed she lost the weight by cutting down on carbohydrates, but admitted ‘an addiction’ to Diet Coke.
