Pre-order the bravely honest and uplifting memoir from one of Britains most cherished TV presenters Phillip Schofield ____ For a long time I felt that I couldnt write this book. At first I didnt think Id lived enough then life got busy and filled with distractions. In more recent years there was always a very painful consideration - I knew where it would eventually have to go. I have recently decided that the truth is the only thing that can set me free. The truth has taken a long time to make itself clear to me but now is the right time to share it all of it. Television and broadcasting has been a part of my DNA for as long as I can remember. As a young boy I would make model TV sets out of cardboard boxes while spending long summers at home barefoot on Cornwalls golden beaches. Landing a job at the ice-cream kiosk I would enviously look on as my presenting heroes took to the stage of Radio 1s Roadshow an unforgettable event when it came to town. In Lifes What You Make It I look back with nostalgic delight on my life from being a young boy endlessly writing letters to the BBC in pursuit of a job in broadcasting to making it on to the Broom Cupboard with my infamous sidekick Gordon the Gopher to being on Going Live and starring as the lead in Lord Andrew Lloyd Webbers Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. It has taken four decades to get here but I feel lucky to have called the sets of Talking Telephone Numbers The Cube Dancing on Ice and of course This Morning home. Im going to take you behind the scenes of my television home at ITV into my career and my dangerously funny relationship with Holly Willoughby. Im going to introduce you to my loving and remarkable family and I hope most of all to tell you that life it seems is what you make it. Take it from someone who has sat on the very edge and looked over its all about the people that love you and after that anything is possible. So finally here we go this is the real me. ____
