Sarah Brown, wife of the prime minister, has guest edited a special edition of the News of the World magazine, Fabulous.

The magazine, to be published later this month, will focus on raising awareness of women's health issues.

The publication, which has been in the pipeline for several months, will feature an interview with Jools Oliver, the wife of TV chef Jamie Oliver, written by Mrs Brown.

The prime minister's wife said editing the magazine had been a "brilliant new experience".

"I believe it's vital to share information with as many women as possible across Britain - information that helps us enjoy greater health, to be body aware, to have fun and enjoy life," she added.

News of the World deputy editor, Jane Johnson, said she hoped the "unique collaboration" would help raise awareness of women's health issues.

Ms Brown is patron of health research charity Wellbeing of Women (WoW). She has been a firm presence in the media landscape over the last few weeks, by twittering daily, attending Glastonbury and going on the Gay Pride march this weekend.
