Chrissy Teigen buried 'Fifty Shades of Grey' on a beach in Mexico after reading two pages and branding it 'horrendous'.

The Sports Illustrated model, who is married to R&B singer John Legend, bought the best-selling erotic novel by E.L. James to read on holiday in Mexico but wasn't impressed by its ''horrendous'' content.

The 28-year-old star shared her reading plans on Twitter on Thursday (26.12.13), writing: ''Need a book for our holiday away. Kind of want to read '50 shades' and basically mystery science library it for you via twitter. (sic)''

But a day later she admitted that she had already thrown in the towel.

Chrissy tweeted on Friday (27.12.13): ''Annnnd I'm done. 2 pages in thank you for enjoying mystery science library. (sic)'' She then attempted to read it again, before writing: ''I have an extremely high pain tolerance. But I honestly don't think I can do this. This book is f**king horrendous.''

She considered ''throwing'' the novel ''in the ocean'' before she came up with the idea to bury it on the beach. The brunette beauty also posted a picture showing her digging on hole in the sand for the book on Instagram, with the caption: ''I tried.''

The 'Fifty Shades of Grey' film will be directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and will star Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele. The film is due for release in February 2015.
