About this listen

Famous for his portrayal of the iconic hardman Grant Mitchell and as the presenter of various documentaries exploring the most dangerous people and places on the planet, BAFTA-winning actor Ross Kemp is one of the UK's most-loved TV stars. Here, for the first time ever, Ross shares tales from his remarkable life.

From a childhood in Essex, most of which was spent in his mum's hairdressing salon and pretending the fields and streams at the end of his garden were the Amazon rainforest, to finding himself travelling down through the real thing forty years later, Ross's life has taken many twists and turns.

Through it all there's been no plan, no roadmap, no strategy. Ross has gone from one wild adventure to the next, and never quite felt like he's fitted in anywhere. These are heart-warming and hilarious stories of the funny, scary, exciting and unbelievable things that have happened along the way. From renting a one room flat that reeked of mould and damp at drama school, to his audition for Eastenders and filming shows in active war zones across the world, this is Ross Kemp in his own words.

With over 100 brilliantly funny tales and surprising stories, it is warm, energetic and endlessly entertaining, and a fascinating snapshot of a life lived to the full.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Lots of funny and interesting anecdotes that made the commute more bearable. I’ve got to write more words so this gets published, wasn’t that enough?!

Great stuff.

this was a fascinating look into Ross' life, and is read really well by the author. However the constant jumping between decades was incredibly jarring at times.

still, well worth the listen.

Great autobiography, but jumps around too much!

loved it easy listen very factual chapters weren't too long straight to the point in every chapter with lots of details I very much enjoyed this book

Great listen

Loved this audio book with so many interesting, funny and eye opening stories. Ross's life is fascinating, he is so much more than just Grant Mitchell and the things he has seen, experienced and heard during his documentaries are truly eye opening and brave. His experiences really show what a wonderful and yet cruel world we live in. I love that Ross narrated his own book - his drunken stories are so funny!!

Funny, heartfelt and eye opening.
