About this deal

Ellie is also hosting her own Radio 4 show, ELLIE TAYLOR'S SAFE SPACE, the second series of which will air in 2021 . Ellie was one of five UK comedians to be featured in Netflix’s trailblazing Comedians of The World series, with her special Cravings premiering on New Year’s Day 2019. As a new-ish mother who had a child at the start of lockdown this book has put into words all my thoughts and feelings about deciding to have a child, motherhood and everything in between. EXCLUSIVEKate is reunited with her three children for the first time in two weeks after leaving hospital. Her thoughts on motherhood are especially honest and she lays bare how hard it is but also how rewarding she has found it.

Taylor was discovered on ITV series Show Me the Funny, an X Factor-style contest for aspiring stand-up comedians.Having taken part in ITV's comedy talent contest Show Me The Funny, with no prior experience of stand up, she brought with her a breath of fresh air to the comedy circuit.

Remind your brain, as utilitarian as it sounds, that each of us has a role to play in a family, even our children. It is obvious that she loves her child very much, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't feel some of the more challenging things that come alongside that and she's not afraid to say so. Completely honest, real, funny and thought provoking - I found myself laughing and crying (sometimes at the same time) and at some points I seriously felt like I was reading my story. knocking me backwards with a hurricane of happiness, I think she understands that even though Mummy sometimes goes away, Mummy always comes back.

It’s a very honest and raw read at times and Ellie covers the whole experience conception, birth, the discrimination mothers face, discrimination non-white mothers face in healthcare treatment and expectations as a mother. I've been looking forward to this book coming out for a while, I've loved everything else I've seen of Ellie Taylor and this book was no exception.

She has written a book that made me feel an incredible surge of love for myself and for all the mothers who have gone before me. And her voice was so clear throughout the book, never getting lost to ‘I am writing a book I must sound formal and knowledgeable’. When I do see my daughter again, and she runs towards me with a beaming gappy smile yelling, ‘Mama’s here! Ashley Park shares a hug with Emily In Paris star Lily Collins as she is 'recovering and resting in Paris'.
