Product Description

Anne Diamond is known and loved by millions. Once the elfin queen of breakfast and daytime television, she shot back into the limelight in 2002 when she appeared in the Celebrity Big Brother house. In her long-awaited autobiography, this popular presenter reveals the truth about the girl next door who became a household name. Anne Diamond tells it as it really was - a life of ups and downs, exciting highs and gut-wrenching lows - and how at fifty she feels more in charge of her destiny than she ever did before. She describes the heyday of breakfast television, the fun and the gossip, when everything she did made headline news. And she tells of the sadnesses, the loss of her father, the sudden and tragic death of her young son, the demolition of her marriage, the axing of her TV programme, and what the public saw as the final insult - the loss of her figure! Observers feared she would crumble under the strain. But that was to underestimate the sheer guts, determination and downright pluck that have made Anne Diamond as bright as her name. Her book is both entertaining and moving - and it will have wide appeal.

A surprisingly good read!
I didnt read this as soon as I bought it, left it on the bookshelf and thought I would read it when I was bored. I decided I was bored 3 days ago and am really pleased I picked it up.

This book is a really good read. Anne writes with real honesty (frightningly so in places!), humour and passion.

I didnt think I would enjoy reading about her rise to fame as much as I did, she writes it in such a way that you really 'go along for the ride' with her. This book also shows you how showbiz can be a shallow business and the people this country take to their hearts can easily be dropped. This has made me wish she was back on the telly again!

She really has had some amazing highs and some tragic lows... and holds no prisoners when talking about them. Do read it... you will be surprised how compelling it is.

How I would love to know who her mystery men are.....!

Anne Diamond's autobiography
Anne Diamond is obviously a woman for whom success and happiness have been hard fought. Battling against pressures that would have brought lesser mortals to their knees for any individual hardship she has had the combined woes of losing her father, her son, her figure, her marriage and, at one point her TV career. I had thought Ms Diamond to have had it easy but this book shows - and a cracking red at that! - how adversity can be overcome by goodness and a steadfast motherly love for her four children. Buy it today - it's the story of human life which unfortunately Ms Diamond has had to endure constantly. It reminds survivors like us all that there is light at the end of the tunnel - if you shine it brightly enough!

Gratuitous
This book shouldn't be allowed to be sold, even to adults. It wallows in self indulgence for self-indulgence sake.

Keep this away from your children!
