`EXPLOSIVE': Although former Downing Street spin doctor Lance Price pulls punches in his soon-to-be-published memoirs, the book contains some saucy details as well

Advertising It's not exactly former US president Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office. But on Sunday revelations of a romp on the sofa in British Prime Minister Tony Blair's inner sanctum were among some of the secrets divulged in the soon-to-be-published memoirs of the Downing Street spin doctor Lance Price.
Billed "explosive," The Spin Doctor's Diary is light on the killer punches that Price might have landed on bodies in the Blair administration. Instead, it seems likely there will just be a great many blushes.
Price, 47, recounts how on the night of Labour's second election landslide victory two Labour officials had sex on Blair's sofa, while the rest of the Cabinet celebrated down the corridor. Even more bizarrely, he claims he interrupted their frolics while looking for sun cream, having fallen asleep on Brighton beach in the midday sun.
The man who was the prime minister's deputy communications adviser for most of Labour's first term points out some Blair vanity, saying that the premier does not like being seen wearing his glasses.
