And when later Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift take to the stage to sing Livin' on a Prayer with The Prince. Or when I'm ironing Howard Donald's shirt, as the Take That music star practices his wedding speech. Insane moments in a roller coaster life. There is nothing typical about my world. It's a real life told in fabulous, crazy and inspiring memories."
