Scenes from life: anecdotal, wicked and witty. This is 'Wossy' in his own words and at his best.

THE SUDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

The laugh-out-loud funny memoir and book of anecdotes about his life and loves from the nation’s favourite ‘Big Dog’ celebrity Traitor!

Why is catalogue shopping responsible for Jonathan Ross's inimitable sense of style?

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.

Sharply observed, laugh-out-loud funny, and completely outrageous, Why Do I Say These Things sees Jonathan talk about everything from sex and pugs to rock 'n' roll and genital warts, as only he can.

From boyhood to adult life, this is Jonathan Ross at his wicked and witty best.

Praise for Why Do I Say These Things?

Laugh-out-loud funny.

Joan Bakewell, Guardian

Hilarious anecdotes aplenty . . . For many of his fans, this will be the first time they get to know the real, likeable, human Jonathan Ross, beneath all the banter and bluster.

Heat magazine

Fluent and entertaining . . . this is a very agreeable ramble through the lively thoughts of a non-smoking, now non-drinking family man with a talent to amuse and enthuse.

David Sexton, Evening Standard

Taking us through his quirky view on life, including fashion, diets and, er, sweetshops this book is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.

Woman magazine

In between the adolescent porn tales and the hilarious diarrhoea anecdotes, he is funny and acute and full of ideas.

Private Eye

Snap it up, pwonto.

London Lite

It's impossible to deny he's the most entertaining interviewer.

Times Educational Supplement

Irreverent and witty . . . hilarious . . . He explores everything - from diets to sweetshops and sex to pets, with all his customary lasciviousness and self-deprecatory humour.

Living Edge

Splendidly entertaining, reflecting on everything from eating a loaf to Shintoism and...sex.

Bournemouth Daily Echo

There are . . . completely honest admissions about his drinking, and laugh-out-loud accounts of his various fashion errors . . . Enjoy gleefully politically incorrect posturing and plain old-fashioned entertainment.
