His warm and winning ways made him one of Britain's most popular and powerful personalities on TV, radio and with live audiences everywhere – but Dale's life was far from perfect.  The story of his private life was traumatic and eventful, a tale of childhood insecurity, poverty and heartbreaking family tragedy – but also courage, commitment and strength. In this emotional, heartfelt book, Dale discusses the problems, the pain and the personalities of a life lived to the full in the mad world of showbusiness – as well as his plastic surgery, his lifelong battle with his weight, and the complicated truth about his sexuality.  Rawest and most affecting is his honest account of his relationship with his parents, his bullying father who died on the day of Dale’s bar mitzvah – but particularly his close relationship with his troubled mother, whose struggle with depression ended with her taking her own life, her body found by Dale just days after his 21st birthday.  With an eye to the future as well as his fascinating past, Dale Winton's autobiography will make compelling reading for millions, testament to the legacy of one of Britain's great entertainers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49545356181777,"sku":"GOR006187878","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49664646283537,"sku":"GOR013669818","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49754263388433,"sku":"NGR9780099573937","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50287482863889,"sku":"GOR013913834","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52153494143249,"sku":"GOR009247567","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0099573938.jpg?v=1751449093"},{"product_id":"dale-book-dale-winton-9780712623681","title":"Dale","description":"Dale Winton is one of the most popular stars on television today, enjoying the support of fans of all ages. In this autobiography, Dale talks openly about his difficult family life, including the death of his father on the day of his bar mitzvah (a man with whom he had a very difficult relationship) and the devastating suicide of his mother, whom he adored. He also speaks frankly about love and relationships, his weight problems, and his dreams of becoming a star. Dale's professional life began as a DJ on the London club circuit, a move that led to work on radio and then television. But his rise to stardom really took off with \"Supermarket Sweep\", from where he moved on to prime-time television with such shows as \"The National Lottery\", \"The Other Half\" and his own Christmas specials and celebrity guest shows. But life in the spotlight is not, and has not always been easy, and Dale talks candidly about the highs and lows of media success and life in the precarious world of entertainment.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49575387595025,"sku":"GOR001740591","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52705123565841,"sku":"GOR011558391","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53613509673233,"sku":"GOR002471812","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/071262368X.jpg?v=1751438284"},{"product_id":"my-story-book-dale-winton-9780099443155","title":"My Story","description":"Dale Winton is currently one of the most popular stars on television. For over 25 years his winning ways have made him one of Britain's most popular and powerful media personalities, as well as with live audiences everywhere. However, his personal life has been marred by poverty and tragedy, and this memoir not only covers his difficult rise to fame but also his determination not to let a tragic childhood blight his adult life. It is a disarmingly honest account of his relationship with his parents, his bullying father who died on the day of his bar mitzvah, and particularly the very close relationship he had with his beautiful but troubled mother, whose lengthy struggle with depression and carefully planned suicide has haunted him since the afternoon he found her, just days after his 21st birthday. Dale's story also deals with his lifelong problem with his weight, the plastic surgery he has undergone, and reveals the complicated truth about his sexuality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49575707738385,"sku":"GOR001260740","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50098919112977,"sku":"GOR000884246","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51334618022161,"sku":"CIN0099443155VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0099443155.jpg?v=1751036877"},{"product_id":"dale-winton-s-supermarket-sweep-quiz-challenge-book-dale-winton-9781858682235","title":"Dale Winton's \"Supermarket Sweep\" Quiz Challenge","description":"Based on the television series, Supermarket Sweep, this quiz book should test the reader's knowledge of the supermarket shelves and general knowledge with specially-devised questions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53334907945233,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53334907978001,"sku":"GOR002698056","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781858682235.jpg?v=1774270229"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-dale-winton.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
