An extract from The Twitter Diaries, above.

Piers Morgan, who introduced the Thompson and Lloyd Webber promoted the read in his own inimitable way: “This book is outrageously defamatory, scandalously exaggerated, disturbingly sensationalised, yet also hideously, addictively entertaining. I don’t know whether to consult my lawyer, or my shrink.”

With a whopping 532,981 Twitter followers between them, the interest in Thompson and Lloyd Webber's daily musings is clearly there and the ebook was snapped up by respected publishing house Bloomsbury.

Bloomsbury's Digital media director Stephanie Duncan said earlier this month, "We're excited about the potential of this book: a witty 21st century tale written entirely in Twitter, 140 character sentences, easy to dip in and out of."

The ebook is released on Monday May 21 , priced £5.59, and is available to pre-order on Amazon.
