Dawn French has written a new book. The Twat Files will see her documents all the times she's been "far from perfect".
Announcing the book, she said: "I am documenting all the times in my life that I have been so far from perfect. In fact, all the times I've been an utter twat. And there are many, many, many examples; more than I ever thought."
Published by Michael Joseph, it'll be available in hardback, eBook and audiobook formats on Thursday 12th October 2023.
Writing via the marketing blurb, the Vicar Of Dibley star explains: "Nincompoop. Nitwit. Lunatic. Dork. All lovely . . . but . . . nah . . . I prefer Twat. It's neat and it's accurate somehow. Because, yes, I am a Twat . . . sometimes. Aren't we all?
"The Twat Files are my stories of the times when I've been a total, utter twat. Time and time again, I've been a massive eejit. But the more I think about it, the more I understand that the moments where I've made mistakes, misunderstood stuff and messed up are key. That's where all my learning happens and where I laugh the most.
"Being a twat is universal and my twatishness is no different to yours. Except perhaps, that mine has been horrifyingly public on occasion. My hope is that reading these stories of my twattishness might remind you of just what a massive twat you also are, that we might celebrate and revel in this most delightful of traits, together."
The book would appear to be a tie-in with the star's live show. Dawn French Is A Huge Twat, in which she looks back at her past mistakes, is touring until November.
The Twat Files is available to pre-order now.
