Celebrity biographies often have a bit of a bad press and are often described as popularist or 'guilty pleasures'. I think this is more down to celebrities who haven't really had much of a life quite yet publishing their great memoirs at the height of their fame to create the maximum profit. And let's face it, publishing is often about profit. I have to admit, though, to being a bit of a fan of the right celeb autobiography.

Enjoyed the book....interesting about her previous relationship with Shane Ritchie
I read this a couple of years ago, so my judgement is a bit off with this one. But when I did read it, I admit I found it quite boring. the story became very repetitive. Her woes began to wear thin as well. I did enjoy hearing about her early life however, its just her adulthood that grated with me.Not the worst book however.
EDIT: I enjoyed it much better after a re-read. Re marked.

I really enjoyed this autobiography. I picked it up from the library last night and practically read it overnight. She gives a frank account of her time in The Nolans and her marriage to Shane Richie as well as her time on Dancing on Ice and recent marriage.
Loved this book. I learned so much about Coleen and her life. Shows just because you show a happy face to the public,it doesn't mean your life is happy. Wanted to hug Coleen after I read it.
an excellent book that really shows the insight into her world.she really does tell everything,recomend to any coleen fan or if you like a good autobiography
Lovely book, written in a very coloquial way, about the life of singer/presenter Coleen Nolan, who gives us an emotional and frank account of her life so far.
I enjoyed this book much more than I thought I would. It was a really good read with an honest account of her life so far. Would recommend.
I absolutely loved this and was amazed at how honest Coleen was, she really didn't hold anything back. would definitely recommend it!
enjoyed the insight i had into the youngest nolan sisters life, and what life was like for her.

Since joining Loose Women in 2000, Coleen has caused controversy with her outspoken opinions and often headline-grabbing stories. Her loose lips and saucy innuendos regularly get her in trouble too, but she can’t help it, she's a big flirt. Actually her flirty antics have often left gorgeous male guests in shock – do you remember a rather upfront chat with Enrique Iglesias? She's a massive fan of
