Book Synopsis

''We come for the glitter, but instead we get the grit, in stories told with insight, tenderness and joy.'' - Russell T Davies

With a foreword by Steph McGovern

''I never thought I''d write a memoir. I never thought I''d do a lot of the things I have done in my thirty-four years, but life has a wonderful way of surprising us.''

Well-known as the winner of the third series of The Great British Bake Off and runner up of Strictly Come Dancing with his same-sex dance partner Johannes Radebe, John Whaite''s personal story is a complicated narrative of contradictions, highs and lows, told with tenderness, joy, insight and wit, but also unflinching honesty.

A shy little boy from rural Lancashire, who was sacred to sleep alone and danced a little ''too gay'' at family weddings, he was also an unruly teen who shaved a checkerboard pattern into his hair and refused to conform.

From childhood his life has revolved around food - his parent
