THE release date of a much-anticipated sexy North-East film has been delayed.

School For Seduction will star Kelly Brook and some of the region's best known actors.

A comedy about an Italian woman who comes to Newcastle to teach local women how to seduce men, it was due to be released next month.

However, its release has been put back until September 17 so it does not clash with Hollywood blockbusters Harry Potter and Troy.

The movie, shot on Tyneside last year, also stars Tim Healy and Emily Wood, as well as Ballykissangel actress Dervla Kerwan.

A spokesman for film distributor Redbus said: "It's a major British film and we're sure the public are going to love it."
