From the outset, Piers Morgan urged the nation to come to its senses, once and for all, and held the government to often ferocious account over its handling of the crisis. COVID-19 shed shocking light on the problems that plague our country. Stockpilers and lockdown-cheats revealed our grotesque levels of self-interest.

At the age of 4, he grandstanded throughout his baby sister’s christening, standing on a chair in front of the whole congregation, pulling faces and cracking everyone up. Despite himself, the vicar was impressed. And from then on he couldn’t get enough of the spotlight, even when it always seemed to avoid him. Throughout his teens, he and his Dad trudged up and down towards London....

'While the beautiful game has taught me a lot, becoming King of the Jungle got me thinking... I’ve had quite a life outside of football too. The World According to Harry is my take on the important things - from what makes true team spirit and not forgetting your East End roots, to the joys of jam roly-poly and knowing how lucky I am to have met a girl like Sandra. I can’t claim to be clued up on showbiz, but I’m certainly not short of a story or two.'

This book is not just about how I got back on my horse and went clippity-clop all the way to the World Cup final in Japan. It's the story of how a fat kid who had to live up to the nickname Psycho grew up to play (and party) for over a decade with rugby's greatest pros. From just about surviving the equivalent of 30 car crashes a game and crooning Adele for team spirit, to extensive field notes on the smell of the Scrum and the fine art of on-pitch relief. Then there's rugby's secret naked wrestling scene and how it was exposed. In my world, you never know how the ball will bounce.

For a long time, I felt that I couldn't write this book. At first, I didn't think I'd lived enough, then life got busy and filled with distractions. In more recent years, there was always a very painful consideration - I knew where it would eventually have to go. I have recently decided that the truth is the only thing that can set me free. The truth has taken a long time to make itself clear to me, but now is the right time to share it, all of it. Television and broadcasting has been a part of my DNA for as long as I can remember.

Summary
Right.
Does anybody else watch Donald Trump as a guilty pleasure? When social distancing is over, can people still keep their distance? And these days, why has everyone got an opinion on everything and insist on sharing it? Oh. Scratch that one.
From one of Britain's most-loved national treasures comes a much-needed Bible of straight-talking honesty and sharp observational humour. Fresh from months of staying at home, Freddie is ready to impart his effortless charm and wisdom on a wild array of topics.
From the significant: climate change - maybe it's our time to go? To the vital: I'm only doing things I like doing now, not the things I should.
From time-worn questions: what even is political correctness, and has the world really gone mad? To our new reality: what are the politics of Zoom, and is it okay to keep pretending my computer has crashed?
Freddie takes you on a whirlwind tour of his brain as he ponders more of life's most unfathomable questions. Like, just what do you get when you receive the coveted Toby Carvery Gold Card?
Right, Said Fred is exactly the tonic you need after experiencing all of the highs and many, many lows of one helluva year.

Easy to listen to during COVID isolation...
A relatable, if nothing groundbreaking easy listen whilst recovering from some mild COVID symptoms... Easy to forget it’s not actually the author reading it - a good choice of narrator IMO Can relate to and agree with most of the views in the book - with the notable exception that I am in the “Hamilton is a bit of a dick” camp... but that’s just my opinion, other people think he’s amazing and no one is going to die because of it either way... which I think is one of the main points made by the book. Worth a listen if you like Fred,cricket and are over 40 (or 50...) and don’t get the hype of social media...

I’ve been a big Freddie fan for many years and I downloaded this with high anticipation. Unfortunately it ended up being a huge disappointment. I did listen to it till the end however I really couldn’t wait for it to finish. The narration really didn’t engage me and it was just boring beyond description. Such a shame
