Church's ex plans kiss-and-tell book

Charlotte Church has received an ultimatum from her ex-boyfriend Steven Johnson.

The Crazy Chick's former lover has instructed her to pay him £3 million, otherwise he will publish a kiss-and-tell book about their time together.

Johnson, who dated Charlotte for 18 months, is believed to have spent the past two years writing Hell's Angel. He claims that he will cancel his plans if Church hands over half of her fortune.

"She can give us £3 million or take us to court," Steven's father, George, revealed.

"I would love it if she took us to court. It would be fantastic. Charlotte has sung for The Queen, the Pope and presidents. She is known world-wide, the court fight would be reported around the world. It would be fantastic publicity for Steven's book."

He added, "I can't tell you what's inside, but it will interfere with Charlotte's head and career."

Charlotte is hoping to obtain a High Court injunction to block the book, which is due out in October. The Johnsons have been given a 21-day deadline to hand over a transcript to Church's lawyers, before they begin legal proceedings.

On Steven's ultimatum, Charlotte said, "Tell him to stick it where the sun don't shine."
