Anthony Horowitz has revealed he almost gave up writing this year, after developing a serious eye condition that could potentially lead to blindness.

Mr Horowitz, 58, was advised by specialists to stop writing books, after untreatable cysts were discovered at the back of both of his eyes.

But after being told that his condition had nothing to do with reading or writing, the best-selling author decided he couldn’t abandon his career.
