Life's What You Make It

Więcej o książce

Pre-order the bravely honest and uplifting memoir from one of Britain's cherished TV presenters, Phillip Schofield. For a long time, I hesitated to write this book. Initially, I felt I hadn't lived enough, then life became busy and distracting. More recently, a painful consideration loomed—knowing where my story would ultimately lead. I've come to realize that the truth is what can set me free. It has taken time for this truth to clarify, but now feels like the right moment to share it all. Television and broadcasting have been integral to my life since childhood. I crafted model TV sets from cardboard boxes and spent summers barefoot on Cornwall's beaches. Working at an ice-cream kiosk, I admired my presenting heroes at Radio 1's Roadshow. In this memoir, I reflect on my journey—from a boy writing letters to the BBC, to my time on the Broom Cupboard with Gordon the Gopher, and starring in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. After four decades, I feel fortunate to have called the sets of Talking Telephone Numbers, The Cube, Dancing on Ice, and This Morning my home. I’ll take you behind the scenes of my ITV career and my wonderfully funny relationship with Holly Willoughby. You'll meet my loving family, and I hope to convey that life truly is what you make it. From the edge of my experiences, I’ve learned it’s all about the people who love you, and from there, anything is possible. So, here it is—the real me.
