Edwina Currie is no stranger to controversy – from being forced to resign from her post as Junior Health Minister over warning of salmonella in British eggs in 1988 to throwing orange juice over Labour's Peter Snape after a debate in 1992, she has often made it into the newspapers.

Branded as the worst kind of kiss and tell, Edwina Currie gives her reaction to John Major's 'shame' over their four year affair and explains why she decided to finally reveal the infidelity by printing her diaries.
