A great biography, frank and honest. She outlines the stresses and joys of motherhood. Whilst interviewing stars on this morning, she was juggling 4 children and breastfeeding one in the green room, that's multitasking!
I am not a huge fan but I read this because I thought it would be interesting given how well known Fern Britton is in the U.K. - it was an easy read and I did mostly enjoy it. I liked the way that the family aspects were in separate chapters to the TV stuff - it meant you could read about either/or, or both. I was expecting more about depression and more about weight issues and the gastric band decision and less of the TV career but thats not to say I didn't find the TV based chapters to be inte

Fern has had an interesting broadcasting career, at times she is keen to point out that she has serious journalistic roots and isn't just a cosy TV presenter. There was openness about her weight issues and she certainly has had an emotional journey. Definitely not the Fern you would anticipate having read the papers, she really delves into her family tree. A suprisinly informative read
I have just finished reading Fern: My Story. I am not sure why I picked it up to read as I rarely saw Fern on TV (as I am not a daytime TV person), but I am glad I did. It's amazing to think that someone who you know as a household name has had really tough times in her life, but she got through in the end. Some parts of the book made me howl with laughter and to read swear words just seemed funny to me :-)
All in all, a really good read. Well done Fern!

I was surprised by how straight talking Fern is in this book. It's quite moving at times, though mostly what you'd expect from a celeb autobiography. I thought there would be more on Philip S. but only little snippets really. And I thought she'd talk about leaving This Morning but must have happened after.
I always enjoy autobiographies as I am fascinated by the paths that people take to get to their current status. THis one was an easy read and had close links to the last one I read- so the same tv companies were mentioned.

An interesting insight into the life of one of our favourite ladies. Worth a read if youre a Fern fan
This shows the raw side of Fern Britton and she is not ashamed to show her emotions.
Great read. I like Fern so it was easy for me. I love her emotional honesty.
