Summary
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.

Granted
Although I somewhat enjoyed listening to this book on my walks it was a bit confusing because he kept jumping from one year to another - he certainly had a a massive experience of life travelling to all different parts of the world

Fabulous
A well written & narrated book.
It was refreshing that Ross would write about his early days & next a story of more recent times.
Thoroughly enjoyable, definitely recommend!

Bad Narrating, Interesting Stories.
This is so frustrating, sounds like the book is being read by lines rather than sentences!! What a shame, I'm only a couple of hours into it and wondering if I will make it to the end, as it's already frustrating the life out of me,

Great stuff.
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?!
