Love the book. Love the girl.

Format: Hardback | Verified Purchase

Absolutely loved this book from start to finish – it made me laugh out loud. And I’m shocked at just how truthful Scarlett has been. Some very emotional pages which I must admit brought a tear to my eye. An added note: Scarlett’s mother sounds like a hoot. 10/10!

My sister is a LEGEND!

INTRODUCTION:

Sofa, So Good!

Ant always stands on the left and Dec on the right. They call it the 180-degree rule.

Over its lifespan, your sofa will be witness to roughly 293 arguments and 1,369 cuddles.

We find on average £1.80 hidden in our sofas every month. That equates to nearly £180 over the sofa’s lifetime (champion: that’ll buy 211 sausage rolls from Gregg’s).

As I stand there shaking like a shitting dog and smelling of mealworms, I clench Joel Dommett’s hand. Ant and Dec are about to announce who has won I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! And to be perfectly honest I have no idea how I even made it onto the show, never mind made the final two.

I was all ready to say, ‘Well done Joel, mate, you’ve done it, you’ve won!’ But when Dec announced, ‘And the new … Queen of the Jungle is …’, it actually took me brain at least five seconds to process what the words actually meant. ‘Queen? Hang on, that must mean I have won, because, well, Joel has a penis and the Queen doesn’t have a penis.’

I could barely contain my emotions as I was ushered to the throne by Geordie royalty Ant and Dec. Wow! The show I had watched since I was eleven years old, the show that for the past two years people had watched me watch on Gogglebox. Nothing felt real as I was crowned the Queen of the Jungle.

Being on the I’m a Celeb throne is my most celebrated sit thus far. This book tells me life story through a whole series of seats. I’m always happiest sitting down. I think there is nothing better than simply sitting around with your family. The comfort and security of the family sofa is where you can truly be yourself, where you can sob your heart out and not be judged, where you can laugh so hard your belly aches.

We all love being a couch potato watching the television from time to time and I personally see it as a hobby. If you want to get into the technicalities of it, I know you’re not physically doing much, but your eyes are getting a good workout, aren’t they? I mean, really you’re practically doing bicep curls – reaching into the packet of crisps, bringing them up to your mouth and repeat. Your legs get some exercise too, as you’ve got to do a Usain Bolt to the kitchen and make a brew during the ad breaks.

We also all
