Sinopsis
From playing panto in Grimsby to hosting the highest rated light entertainment show in the history of British television, this is the story of one extraordinary year in the life of minor TV personality and serial bad dresser, Simon Peters...Simon languishes on the bottom rung of the showbiz celebrity ladder, mired in the tacky world of game shows, daytime TV and home shopping channels. His agent has trouble remembering his name and even his stalker is more famous than he is. He goes to all the wrong parties, sleeps with all the wrong people and to make matters worse, stardom beckons for his most-loathed enemy. And just when it seems things couldn't get any worse, the plug is pulled on his TV show...Like most celebrities, Simon's riddled with insecurities but he's nothing if not resilient, thick-skinned, utterly selfish and a total - if misguided believer - in his own talent. HE knows he's got what it takes to get to the middle, the very middle. It's just the getting there that's the problem.

De la contraportada
Languishing a good few rungs below Keith Chegwin and Su Pollard on the showbiz ladder but above that scouse bloke who won the first series of 'Big Brother', minor TV personality Simon Peters feels he's doomed to a career in the celebrity limbo of daytime game shows and home shopping channels. He never seems to be invited to the right parties and invariably sleeps with all the wrong people; his agent has trouble remembering his name and even his stalker is more famous than he is. And just when things couldn't get any worse (and let's be honest, who's ever won a BAFTA playing panto in Grimsby) the plug is pulled on his TV show and stardom beckons his worst enemy.
But, however riddled with insecurities he may be, Simon knows he's got what it takes to make it and he's not going to let a silly little thing like a complete lack of talent get in the way.
Giving fame a long overdue (but not too hard) slap on the wrist, Diary of a C-List Celeb is a wickedly funny, deliciously observed novel of burning ambition, unrequited love, celebrity punch-ups and serial bad dressing by a new literary talent who knows this world all too well.
