That she made her name as a 'style guru' from <i>What Not to Wear</i> is actually the least interesting thing about her.<br><br>Hers is a tale full to the brim with extraordinary anecdotes. From lavatory dramas with Princess Margaret to behind-the-scenes power struggles between Thatcher and the Queen at Balmoral and eye-opening sex-club etiquette with pop royalty - her social landscape has been nothing if not varied.<br><br>But appearances are deceptive and beneath it all life had a darker side: her mother's bipolar disorder her father's inability to cope and her own subsequent alcoholism. Somehow she had to forge her own life away from the expectations of others.<br><br><b>Told with gobsmacking honesty and great dollops of humour <i>Ready For Absolutely Nothing</i> is essential reading for anyone who loves a good memoir but secretly just wants to read the naughty bits.</b><br>__________<br><br><b>'Wonderfully written very funny but more than anything completely genuine'</b> LADY ANNE GLENCONNER author of <i>Lady in Waiting</i><br><br><b>'A romp . . .
