Daniel said: “As well as see the documentary we realised that people would love to read about Paddy so we wrote the book with him during lockdown periods. The book and documentary shot over six years give a fascinating insight into Paddy’s incredible life and are a very funny, emotional, honest account by him.”
The new biography will describe Paddy’s work with Sally Bercow; visits to the House of Commons; work with Callum Best; his TV work; charity work; bullying; fighting; his struggles to overcome depression and his suicide attempt.
“Above all it is a story of triumph and an inspiration to anyone,” Daniel added.
