  Carol Thatcher has one of the most famous surnames in the world. But whatever anyone might feel about her august mother, SHE is one of the best-loved people in the country. Official. When she won ITV's I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here..! it was positive proof that she touched the nation's hearts. Her unique mixture of bravery, honesty and humour won the day - and the show. Carol is a true original, a national treasure, with a magnificent turn of phrase and a unique story to tell. In this memoir, she tells us about what it was like to grow up as The Milk Snatcher's daughter, to be the sister of the more (in)famous Mark, and to live a life that she describes as a 'swim-on part in the goldfish bowl'. As a schoolgirl, student, journalist and now TV personality and indefatigable world traveller, she lives life to the full. Hers is a rivetingly funny and revealing memoir, and as she hurtles from one incident and accident to another, you will relive your affection for her all over again.
