Put THAT girl's name into Google and this is what you get.

She's famous, but for nothing other than being a sex object and girlfriend of a succession of famous men.

But Ms Titmuss wants you to know that there's more to her than most of us know. Even the ones who viewed that infamous tape of her and boyfriend John Leslie.

Now she's trying to be taken seriously as an actress.

You can't help but feel that a woman better known for her sexual habits is going to find it a hard slog.

But are we giving Abi too hard a time of it?

After all, her rise from ordinary girl to famous sexpot wasn't of her doing. Well, not initially.

Her story runs like the plot of a chick-lit novel... Pretty nurse can't believe her luck when she lands herself a famous boyfriend. Everything is rosy until he gets accused of a sex assault. But she believes he's innocent and stands by him, like nice, loyal girlfriends do.

Only, when press photographers waiting to capture the celeb coming out of court realise there's a sexy-looking, busty blonde nurse in the mix, they go into overdrive.

Suddenly, all everyone is interested in is Abi, not the cleared John Leslie.

Almost overnight, she became a household name. And via Leslie's agent, Abi embraced it all – the lad mag photo shoots, the newspaper interviews, the TV appearances.

In one year, she was on the cover of 35 magazines and 68 national newspapers and became the most photographed person in Britain.

After that, it was pap shots, gossip columns and then reality TV that she turned to keep herself in the public eye. Remember her in Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen, alongside Edwina Currie and Jennifer Ellison?

Recall her blossoming love affair with Lee Sharpe on Celebrity Love Island?

Millions of viewers switched on nightly to find out if they would finally get it on.

Don't worry if it's all slipped your mind. The whirlwind that was the last six years of Abi's life have just been published as a book - The Secret Diaries of Abigail Titmuss, which is described as "Piers Morgan meets Bridget Jones on rocket fuel" and is "racy, endearing, hilariously funny..."

I can't say I laughed out loud as I dipped into its pages, but it is an interesting insight into the transformation of ordinary girl to modern-day celebrity, someone known throughout the nation for nothing more than being Abi.

"In the last six years, my life has changed completely. And I never planned any of it," she says. "I didn't walk into my agent's office and say: I want to be famous.

"I'm not going to deny I like it though," she says. "There are some really positive things about being famous."

I imagine she's going to say the money and men. But no.

It's having people look at her: "One of the biggest highs was my first FHM shot. It was unpaid, I was virtually unknown and it was for one page.
