She vowed she’d never do it. She lied. Vanessa Feltz has done the unthinkable and written a joltingly honest autobiography.

You think you already know all there is to know about Vanessa? You don’t know the half of it. Brace yourself for the achingly funny, deeply moving untold story: the behind the scenes lowdown on the parents who planned her wedding before she could walk, how she became the nation’s second-most-famous fat person, life as the British Oprah, feuding with Madonna and Miss Piggy aboard the Big Breakfast bed, an excruciatingly public divorce, gruesome gastric band surgery, a sixteen-year skirmish with an ageing boybander and finding herself shockingly single at sixty-one.

She’s spent thirty-five years in the public eye: ‘Vanessa’s Friends Say She’s Drinking Custard!’ Vanessa seizes her chance to set the record straight in this warm, witty, intensely human story. She spares no one’s blushes, including her
own. How could someone so clever make such cataclysmic mistakes?

Vanessa’s often wrong, but always relatable. She puts the ‘Oh my goodness, I can never unread that paragraph!’ into celebrity autobiography.
