Barbara Windsor is an adored British icon, the bubbly blonde who is a regular visitor to millions of homes as the feisty Peggy Mitchell in Eastenders. Now she reveals all in one of the most honest and passionate autobiographies ever written.

Babara opens her heart about her lonely childhood in London's East End, caught between her father, John, whom she idolised and her mother, Rose whose love she understood only when it was almost too late. She discloses, for the first time, intimate details of her first husband, Robbie Knight, Britain's most wanted man. And she bares her soul about her relationship with Scott Mitchell, the son of a childhood friend - a true love affair that took her to the heights of happiness and the depths of depression before their romantic wedding in April 2000.
