The least desirable prize in literature is conventionally awarded to novelists.

However, the judges have made an exception for the former Prime Minister and his toe-curling reminiscences about a night of passion with Cherie, reports the Telegraph.

"That night she cradled me in her arms and soothed me; told me what I needed to be told; strengthened me," he wrote in his memoir A Journey.

"On that night of 12 May 1994, I needed that love Cherie gave me, selfishly. I devoured it to give me strength. I was an animal following my instinct," he wrote.

A Journey was released in September 2010.
