Laura Whitmore has announced that she’s written her first book.
The Love Island host and Bray native took to Instagram to share the exciting news.
Sharing a pic of herself with the manuscript she wrote: “I’ve written a book! It’s been hard work and a long time to get to here and I can’t bloody believe I finally get to tell you all.
“Thank you to @orionspring for believing in my writing and @wilsonphillipsmusic for giving me permission to use their song lyric as my book title; ‘Stop waiting for a hero to come along, take back control and be the hero of your own life.'”
The book, called No One Can Change Your Life Except For You she shares her experiences of overcoming heartbreak, body image worries, self-doubt and insecurity.
Speaking about the book title she said: “When I was a kid the first album I owned was by Wilson Phillips, I remember the lyric from the song Hold On, ‘No one can change your life except for you’.
“It’s how I’ve chosen to live my life. There is a freedom when you take back control. Stop waiting for someone to save you and do it yourself. I recognise everyone has different levels of struggle but no one just hands you a chance. We don’t have to wait for Prince Charming to rescue us, or wait for the opportunity to come to us. We can be our own heroines. We can create our own dreams.”
The book is available for preorder now, and will be on shelves on March 4th. So we have a while to wait!
