Rebel Wilson's headline-hitting memoir is set to be been published in the UK on April 25 with allegations about the actor Sacha Baron Cohen redacted for legal reasons. 

Rebel Rising has already been published in the US and features a chapter entitled Sacha Baron Cohen And Other A**holes. 

However the UK copies feature the wording crudely blacked out due to what Rebel brands 'peculiarities' of English law.

Publisher HarperCollins confirmed to MailOnline: 'The book contains some redactions in chapter 23 on pages 216, 217, 218 and 221, as well as an explanatory note at the beginning of the chapter.' 

In the book, Rebel, 44, makes claims about 52-year-old Sacha's behaviour during the filming of their 2016 comedy Grimsby, which he has strongly denied. She first made light of the claims last month, in news that shocked fans.

The book Rebel Rising, which has already been published in the US, features a chapter entitled Sacha Baron Cohen and Other A**holes but will have black lines going through certain parts

'Including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby.' 

The UK version includes a reference to 'the worst experience of my professional life. An incident that left me feeling bullied, humiliated and compromised...

'It can't be printed here due to the peculiarities of the law in England and Wales.'

The rest of the page is redacted, with black lines also removing shorter details elsewhere in the chapter.

The Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids star said her aim was not to cancel Sacha with her recollections in the memoir, but to retell an experience which made her feel 'completely disrespected, which led to me treating myself with even more disrespect by eating in an extremely unhealthy way'.

In the UK book, Rebel says she 'rues the day' she met Sacha, who she describes as her 'idol'.

She describes how they first met at a dinner party hosted by Little Britain star Matt Lucas, and a year later he offered her a role in Grimsby, which was released in North America as The Brothers Grimsby.

Rebel branded her sex scene with Sacha in the film Grimsby 'the most disgusting thing ever', nine years before calling the star an 'a**hole' in her new memoir (pictured filming Grimsby in 2014)

The book has been released with the explosive comments redacted 

The words about Sacha have been removed pending legal woes between the duo

She played Dawn, the wife of Sacha's character Nobby, a football fan who gets drawn into the world of his secret agent brother.

Last month, she first named Sacha as the celebrity responsible for making threats over the book after which his representatives hit back.

Taking to Instagram to confirm the identity, Rebel wrote: 'I will not be silenced by high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers. The a
