Carol McGiffin has been on Loose Women almost since it started a decade ago, and she is known and adored by their millions of viewers and one of the most-loved presenters on the show. Women love her because she is brimming with brilliantly funny anecdotes and controversial opinions, and says all the things they think but would never dream of saying.

She`s a natural storyteller and has lived quite a life! It wasn`t an easy start - growing up on a council estate; struggling to make ends meet after her dad left when she was a toddler and coping with her mum`s violent boyfriend. It wasn`t all doom and gloom though - Carol discovered her talent for making people laugh early on and she`s been getting into trouble ever since...

In this book she`ll open up about her marriage to Chris Evans, and will reveal all about the infamous seven years of celibacy that followed. She`s now found happiness at last with her fiancé Mark and she`ll be revealing all about how it`s not how old you are that counts, it`s your outlook on life that keeps you young – and a 26 year-old toy boy certainly helps!

Warm, candid and at times poignant, and in her own, unique voice, Carol`s memoir will show why life is always best enjoyed with your glass half full.
