Actually, it's Love


Order the book now!

Editors: John and Frankie McGowan

This book was compiled by John and Frankie McGowan to raise money for their charity "ROC - Research into Ovarian Cancer".


  • Why did Alan Titchmarsh nearly drown?
  • Why did Richard Branson sink his houseboat?
  • Why did Rolf Harris drive his musicians around the bend with his carving skills?

For love, actually!

It comes in all forms, all shapes and sizes, from the unconditional love of a parent to a chid, to the passionate, all-embracing love felt for a partner, to the unspoken love that man sometimes shows to fellow man through a thoughtful, selfless act of kindness.

The rich, the famous and the funny have joined together to create this unique treasury of tales about the things they have done for love.

Whether it be reciting Shakespearean sonnets, hitch-hiking down the M1, or nearly drowining on a motorbike in the rain, these hilarious and heart-warming stories of your favourite celebrities will have you laughing, crying and even cringing - but definitely dying to read the next one!

This is an uplifting and extraordinary testament to the most glorious of human emotions.


"Romantic love is pretty wonderful, no question. And it can certainly turn your life upside down. But it isn't the only kind of love in the world that hits hard. There's another kind: the one that takes your life by the scruff of the neck, demolishes rational thinking and casts aside any sensible person's grip on reality. for me it's what I do for a living. From the moment when, aged ten, I was taken to see Jesus Christ Superstar, the die was cast."
