The first line of Chris Tarrant 's book on his life is: "This is not my autobiography."
Ripping up the usual celeb memoir style lets readers revel in the "laughs and ridiculous situations" of his 75 years, which are generously doused with anecdotes involving famous names such as Terry Wogan, David Bowie, Billy Connolly and Paul McCartney.
It also means Chris swerves addressing parts of his personal life, such as the acrimonious split from second wife Ingrid Tarrant, who discovered his seven-year affair with a teacher in 2006.
