Rebel Rising was published in the US on Tuesday, and was due out in Australia on Wednesday and the UK on Thursday. It will now reach the UK on 25 April.

Publisher HarperCollins said its release "has been moved to coincide with Rebel Wilson's press tours".

The book includes allegations against Sacha Baron Cohen, who is understood to have threatened legal action.

The British comedian has vehemently denied any impropriety, saying her description of shooting his 2016 film Grimsby is "demonstrably false".
