When Jordan met JK

Posted by Jane Murphy

It was the British Book Awards in London last night. All the greats were there: Jordan, Abi Titmuss, Geri Halliwell... Oh yeah, and JK Rowling who appeared to be falling out of her dress with excitement at being in the presence of such luminaries of the literary world.

Talking of which, I've just spent a good 20 minutes staring at our photograph of JK and I still can't work out where that extra arm has come from. Still, who'd have guessed Ms Rowling's cleavage would cause more fuss than Jordan's?

Anyway, just like the owner of that mystery arm, JK didn't go home empty-handed: she picked up a lifetime achievement award. Jordan, meanwhile, was pipped at the post in the Children's Book of the Year category. Her self-penned (ahem!) My Pony Care Book was beaten by Francesca Simon's Horrid Henry and the Abominable Snowman.

Never mind, Jordan - there's always next year's Booker Prize...
