  By the age of 11 Kerry Katona had lived in countless different homes and attended 8 different schools. By the age of 13 she could beat grown men at pool and knew how to look after her mother during a breakdown. By the age of 15 she had lived in women's refuges, the heart of London's East End gangster-land and several different foster homes. By the age of 18 she was a pop star ... Too Much, Too Young is the moving, gripping - yet often very funny - account of one child's unique upbringing, and a woman's journey through pop stardom, motherhood and marriage heartbreak. From the backstreets of Warrington to the smoky pubs of the East End, from the shelters where victims of domestic violence hide, to the exclusive hotels where international pop stars party, this is an extraordinary read. Better than fiction, more dramatic than the tabloids, more emotional than the soaps and funnier than a reality TV show ... welcome to Kerry's life.

  The first series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here was dominated by two women, Kerry, the eventual winner, and Jordan, whose first autobiography sold a staggering 500,000 copies through the trade. Until now Kerry has never told her full story. She may have permanently graced the front of OK!, had her every move followed and reported by the tabloids, watched her marriage disintegrate under the camera's glare, learnt of her husband's infidelity via the papers, and gone into rehab in America trailed by the journos. But she has never actually told her own story in full. Her first memory was of watching her mother try to kill herself, her childhood was one of shifting foster homes and children's homes, but now as a single mother she is trying to put tragedy behind her and raise her two children in a loving and secure home. This is a story of a little girl who fought to escape her background, became famous at an incredibly young age, married a heartthrob too young and sank to the very lowest point after he left her, but is now building a triumphant, independent life of her own. It's a book with an incredibly moving, inspirational message. A heart-wrenching, grippi
