Karl has re-signed with his old manager Sharon Finnigan, who is said to be in talks to secure him a book deal.
‘Sharon and Karl are in talks with his former publisher Hachette who he worked with in 2014,’ an insider said.
‘He will go warts and all if Lisa’s book is as racy as everyone is expecting and he’s ready with a back-up plan, and with Sharon in his corner, he’s giving himself his best chance.’

‘She has also agonised over how he is portrayed, because he’s a complex character to get down in writing.’
Lisa apparently told friends the book had left her feeling ‘stressed’ and that she was worried about the media focusing on her chapters about Karl.
It is understood that ‘no juicy detail will be off limits’ in the Harper Collins autobiography, which will also reportedly include her marriage to Peter FitzSimons.
