From homeless teenager to one of the world’s most successful multimillionairesses; from struggling TV assistant to celebrity agent and publicist to the stars; from dyslexic pupil to an international bestselling fiction author. Melanie Blake has a rags-to-riches tale like no other, and has worked with the who’s who of the show-business elite.
Now she spills all the secrets the celebrities definitely don’t want you to know... So crack open the book, and get ready for the ride of your life – and a view behind the barbed-wired velvet rope of fame so few hardly ever hear about.
Damaged Goods: Confessions of a Talent Agent is a tell-all memoir packed with fascinating one-to-one experiences with A-listers including the likes of Madonna, Joan Collins, Michael Hutchence, The Spice Girls, Kylie Minogue, Cher, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Donna Summer, Lulu, Faye Dunaway, Meryl Streep, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Jackie Collins, Joanna Lumley, Joan Rivers, plus the who’s who of English and international soap operas like Dynasty, Coronation Street, EastEnders, Neighbours and Emmerdale.
Melanie was there for the deals, the meltdowns, the betrayals and the scandals that never made the papers. She watched famous marriages collapse behind closed doors while the cameras kept rolling. She saw the fake friendships, the private cruelties, the predators and the price paid by those who fought to get to the top. And, of course, she herself struggled not to be destroyed by the toxic world of the Fame Game.
Melanie Blake also rips the veneer off the fake world of British daytime TV.From exposing iconic institutions like Loose Women, Top of the Pops and Strictly Come Dancing to revealing the best and the worst of her thirty years of life in the VIP lane, Damaged Goods shows all that glitters definitely isn’t golden...
‘Nothing is off limits in this explosive tell-all. She’s seen all the toxic behind the scenes drama for decades and knows where all the bodies are buried. This memoir is her revenge! The Sun
‘The most explosive page turning book you’ll read this year. Unfiltered, like a burst dam. Blake has lived a life as dramatic and traumatic as her bestselling novels. Appearing like she’s just swept in from TV’s Dynasty, Melanie doesn’t just have the style of Joan Collins’s Alexis Colby, she has the strength too. The Sunday Express
