"A charming and enlightening read about the life of a television star, with all the ups and downs that entails. "
A successful soap opera will give its viewers drama, humour and heartbreak. The memoir of former EastEnders actress Cheryl Fergison offers the same.
Her autobiography, Behind the Scenes - My Secret Life Beyond EastEnders, has more dramatic moments and plot twists than an average week in Albert Square. In her life, Fergison has seen the highest highs (starring in EastEnders for five years) and the lowest lows (going to a food bank because her money had run out.)
It’s all there in her charming and engaging account. Fergison is a great storyteller, and you can’t help but root for her throughout this story of her life.
On EastEnders, Fergison played the beloved character Heather Trott, known for her shenanigans with her best friend Shirley Carter, her love of George Michael and her headbands. EastEnders fans will undoubtedly lap up her account of her time on the soap. One hilarious anecdote involved borrowing the Rolls Royce of Steve McFadden, who played Phil Mitchell on the show.
Life became far more complicated once she was killed off EastEnders. The life of a jobbing actor can be difficult, and hers was made even more so after she discovered her accountant had never paid her taxes and stole the money instead.
This memoir has more twists than a good soap opera, and is charming, sad and funny. Anyone interested in a behind-the-scenes look of the life of a television actress will be beguiled by this memoir.
