As creative force of The Goon Show, Spike Milligan was the architect of the lunatic style of humour that permeates the best-loved performances of Peter Sellers; a friend and colleague who Milligan considered: “one of the true comedy greats of the 20th century. He can hold his head up with the very best.”
And it is the comic genius of Peter Sellers that is the driving passion of this book. A labour of love by Robert Ross, Britain’s Comedy Historian, in which the well-documented wealth, wives, and weirdness of Peter’s personal life is referenced only when it fully impacts his happiest place: as an interpretive, dedicated, truthful actor.
Whether it is Doctor Strangelove; Inspector Clouseau; or Chance the Gardener, Sellers had the conviction and the control to become his characters.
It’s a legacy of laughter which still holds the world bewitched and enthralled; a legacy here put into historical and comical context.

A gripping, painfully honest and ultimately inspirational, New York Times bestselling memoir from global superstar and creator of the Red Table Talk series Jada Pinkett Smith.

In a media driven landscape that crafts narratives for our celebrities, Smith recounts her story in an intimate conversation with readers. Along the way, she explores her path to accepting her power as a woman, and her discovery that a strong sense of self is every woman’s right and saving grace.

An impactful and rare memoir that engages and educates, Worthy is a courageous love song to self, to family, to life, and to the world.

From an unconventional upbringing in Baltimore, to an unconventional marriage to one of the most famous men in the world, adhering to the status quo has never been a familiar road for Jada Pinkett Smith. In Worthy, Smith strips herself of all the labels and stories crafted by others, and reclaims her narrative with radical self-love. Worthy teaches us who Jada is, and how to embrace our most authentic loveable souls.

THIS SUMMER’S MOST EXPLOSIVE LISTEN. GET READY FOR TRUTHS AND BOMBSHELLS. NARRATED FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER BY KATIE HERSELF.

‘Staggeringly honest… Katie is one of showbusiness’s great survivors,’ Bryony Gordon

‘Katie is the best storyteller,’ Jamie Laing

‘Katie is a survivor,’ Elizabeth Day

Celebrating twenty years since her bestselling debut autobiography, Being Jordan, and a stellar thirty-year career, This Is Me is Katie Price as you’ve never heard her before – raw and reflective. Katie explores the incredible highs and devastating lows of her life and turbulent career, as well as the journey she’s been
on to get to where she is today.

From her first forays into glamour modelling when she was just 17 years old, through a wild ride of Playboy mansions, Eurovision Song Contests, reality TV and everything in between, This Is Me is the true story of Katie’s life behind the headlines. But it’s not all glitz, glam and cosmetic surgery. For the first time, Katie will reflect on her journey through therapy, PTSD, trauma and the trials of living her life in the media spotlight. It’s a true tale of survival during a career that has seen her become a household name – sometimes for all the wrong reasons. But though this is Katie in her most reflective book to date, it’s also punctuated with the very real drama she’s been dealing with in her life at the moment.

Full of life lessons she’s learned along the way as well as the pain and heartache of the ones she’s still learning, this is the real, explosive and unapologetically honest Katie Price.

The audiobook also includes an exclusive Q&A with Kerry Katona.
