Why Do I Say These Things?

Description

Scenes from life- anecdotal, wicked and witty. This is 'Wossy' in his own words and at his best. Why is catalogue shopping responsible for Jonathan Ross's inimitable sense of style? Why might wearing cape and mask be a fast track to heaven? Why does Jonathan wince every time he sees a Hoover? And why did he fall in love with a deep-sea diver? Why? Because this is Jonathan Ross. And nothing is out of bounds when it comes to talking about life as he knows it. From sex and pugs to rock 'n' roll and genital warts, Jonathan holds forth as only he can. This sharply observed, laugh-out-loud, outrageous page-turner will leave you asking just one question . . . Why didn't he write it sooner?

Jonathan Ross hosts his own BBC1 chat show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, which has won three BAFTAs. Since 1999 he has presented BBC1's flagship film show, and on BBC Radio2 he presents his own weekly show. In 2005 he was appointed OBE and was voted most powerful man in broadcasting by the Radio Times. In 2008 he was awarded the Sony Gold Music Radio Personality of the Year. He lives in North London with his wife, Jane Goldman, their three children and a menagerie of pets.
