Kirk Norcross memoir sold to Pan Macmillan
22 Jan 2013

Pan Macmillan have bought the autobiography of ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star Kirk Norcross, Essex Boy: My Story , to be published in April 2013.

One of the original TOWIE cast members, Kirk is portrayed as the good-looking rich kid, splashing out thousands on bottles of champagne and dating glamorous women like Amy Childs and Lauren Pope. But there’s a lot more to Kirk and the reality is that the first 18 years of his life tell a very different story – one he is only now ready to reveal. A childhood marred by poverty as Kirk moved between a hostel and a council house on one of Essex’s toughest estates, left him suffering from panic attacks and crippling self-doubt. Reconciling with his dad, by now a millionaire, thrust him into a very different world – one with its own set of challenges. Writing with complete honesty about the two sides of his Essex life, Kirk talks about his rise to fame on Lime Pictures & ITV2’s hit show TOWIE, his time in the Celebrity Big Brother house, his much-followed romances and who his real friends are.
