For most of us, a look back over the last 12 months might see us reminiscing about a fab holiday, the odd decorating mishap or the usual family trauma. For Anouska Knight, it’s something altogether different!

Last spring, Anouska’s life changed forever when she was crowned winner of the ITV Lorraine Show’s Racy Reads competition in association with Mills & Boon. Since then, she’s seen her debut novel, Since You’ve Been Gone, become a bestseller and she’s become a full-time author.

Last week, with her second book, A Part of Me, just released, Anouska headed back to the ITV studios for a catch-up with the lovely Lorraine Kelly. They chatted about all the changes in Anouska’s life over the last year and discussed her heart-wrenching-yet-hilarious new read. You can see the full interview here.

A Part of Me is on sale now in all good bookshops and here at Mills & Boon.
