Lorraine Kelly, the cheerful face on your breakfast TV screen has penned an autobiography of her varied career since joining her local paper as a cub reporter in the 1970s. It zips along at a fair pace and the narrative is so well written, it often feels as if you're snuggled up to Lorraine on the GMTV sofa and she's reciting a series of anecdotes to you. I did find a couple of the chapters rather heavy-going for a `celeb' autobiography, as they dealt with the Lockerbie disaster and the Dunblane shooting with empathy and insight, although I found the latter impossible to read without dissolving into tears, so I gave it a miss.
Lorraine's celebrity gossip about various guests is entertaining and the heart-warming stories of her happy marriage and family life are lovely to read. I'd recommend this book to your mum or a favourite auntie to savour over the festive period.
