Book description
The much-loved TV star Fern Britten tells her story for the first
time in her Sunday Times bestselling memoir.
For years now, Fern Britton has been widely loved as the presenter
ofReady Steady Cook, and, more recently, co-presenter of
This Morning with Philip Schofield. Never one to shy away
from a good laugh or cry on national TV, she has none-the-less never
talked about herself to the public, preferring to keep her private
life private. Her warmth and humour, empathy and compassion, have made
her feel like a best friend to millions on a daily basis, but no one
knows the woman behind the sparkling smile.
Now, for the first time, she is going to tell her story. And it is
one that will strike a chord with women everywhere. Life as a child
was not always easy, and she faced private and public challenges with
her personal life, appearance and her career as she climbed the ladder
to fame. Now a full-time working mum, with a very happy marriage to
her second husband Phil Vickery, she is at the top of her game, and
ready to tell it like it is. So put your feet up and get ready for a
great read with Fern Britten.
