So Me: SO good. SO funny. SO naughty. SO honest.

The intimate and hilarious memoir of the country's favourite TV presenter comes to paperback. Graham Norton, whose impish charm and quick wit have earned him a place in our hearts, looks back at his life so far.

In his own words, So Me is 'a real romp through a journey from living in a cockroach-infested council flat in Hackney to buying Claudia Schiffer's townhouse in Manhattan, from my mother dragging me to school to me dragging her to Sharon Stone's house for New Year's brunch'.

From a not-so-miserable Irish childhood to dropping out of Cork University and joining a commune of hippies in San Francisco, from his disastrous attempts at becoming a serious actor to the rise of his comedy career in London, this is a hilarious, insightful and moving account of a colourful life.
