This is Jonathan Ross. And nothing is out of bounds when it comes to talking about life as he knows it. From sex and pugs to rock 'n' roll and genital warts, Jonathan holds forth as only he can. This sharply observed, laugh-out-loud, outrageous page-turner will leave you asking just one question . . . Why didn't he write it sooner?

Jonathan Ross hosts his own BBC1 chat show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, which has won three BAFTAs. Since 1999 he has presented BBC1's flagship film show, and on BBC Radio2 he presents his own weekly show. In 2005 he was appointed OBE and was voted most powerful man in broadcasting by the Radio Times. In 2008 he was awarded the Sony Gold Music Radio Personality of the Year.
He lives in North London with his wife, Jane Goldman, their three children and a menagerie of pets.

Reviews

Laugh-out-loud funny. Hilarious anecdotes aplenty . . . For many of his fans, this will be the first time they get to know the real, likeable, human Jonathan Ross, beneath all the banter and bluster. Fluent and entertaining . . . this is a very agreeable ramble through the lively thoughts of a non-smoking, now non-drinking family man with a talent to amuse and enthuse. Taking us through his quirky view on life, including fashion, diets and, er, sweetshops this book is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud. In between the adolescent porn tales and the hilarious diarrhoea anecdotes, he is funny and acute and full of ideas. Expand reviews
