A charity bookshop is begging women to stop handing in secondhand copies of steamy novel Fifty Shades of Grey.

Women who bought the erotic thrillers are dumping them in secondhand stores - because they don't want to keep them in their own home.

And an Oxfam store in Swansea has received so many copies of E.L James's novels it has been forced to say: "Please - no more".

Oxfam worker Phil Broadhurst said his store has become a "retirement home" for copies of EL James' book and its sequels.

We appreciate all the donations - but less Fifty Shades and more Sixties and Seventies vinyl would be good.

50 Shades of Grey has sold more than 125 million copies worldwide.
