Su Pollard celebrates 50 years in show business in this hilarious and moving memoir, capturing a wealth of stories from her years on screen and stage.
Born in Nottingham in 1949, Su, now 76, began acting aged six. As a teen, she paid her dues singing in working men's clubs before a life-changing appearance on Opportunity Knocks (during which she was beaten by a singing Jack Russell).
Her first major TV show was 1970s' sitcom Two Up Two Down - and she's barely stopped since. Beloved for her roles in Hi-de-Hi!, You Rang, M'Lord? and Oh, Doctor Beeching!, Su has more than earned her title of national treasure.
With her wacky sense of fashion and her cheeky innuendo-heavy humour, she is not only a stalwart of British pantomime, but she has continued to work in theatre, TV comedy and some of our biggest reality hits, including Strictly Come Dancing, Celebrity MasterChef, BBC's Pilgrimage, Celebrity Antiques Road Trip and Last Laugh in Vegas. And, let's not forget, her unlikely musical career - including her number 2 single.
For every role she played, Su has a dozen madcap behind-the-scenes stories which will keep readers giggling all the way to the final page. She shares hilarious tales of her showbiz friendships with the likes of Princess Diana and Dame Barbara Windsor and pulls back the curtain about what fame is really like.

As for her lovelife... Su was married to Peter Keogh from 1984 to 1992, who now lives in Australia with his husband Sacha. Until now, Su has been very guarded about her personal life - but has decided it's finally time to let fans see the real her, making this one of the most engaging autobiographies of the year.
She continues to tour the UK with her one-woman show Su Pollard: Still Fully Charged.
