Mel Giedroyc has detailed the “financial hiccup” 16 years ago which saw her family “lose everything” and served as inspiration for her latest book.
The 53-year-old comedian appeared on ITV ’s Loose Women to discuss the riches to rags novel based on her own experience when her daughters Florence and Vita were just one and two-years-old.
Mel told the panellists on the daytime show how she had bought a big house with husband Ben Morris, borrowing a “stupid amount of money” on the back of securing a lucrative advertising campaign alongside comedy partner Sue Parkins.
