She is the 'queen of the bonkbuster', with a worldwide reputation for writing incredibly steamy sex scenes. However, Dame Jilly Cooper has fallen foul of sarcastic American television executives, who are worried that a forthcoming adaptation of her raunchy novel Rivals would be too much for modern viewers. Multiple scenes of the star-studded series have been reshot by bosses at a subscription service, fearing that they are inappropriate in the post-MeToo period.
