The film must be an original narrative created, produced and devised by a woman, or women, although male cast and crew members are allowed. But the book isn't 'worthy', it's a personal account where Ellie wants to encourage people to be ok with whatever choices are right for them, including whether not to have a child at all - and with some of the stories Ellie tells it might encourage them down that route!

I'm a big fan of Ellie Taylor - I think she's hilarious, and as a fellow Essex girl I can relate to her a lot of her anecdotes. I truly believe there is something in here for everyone and I know it will be a book I refer to again and again throughout the journey ahead. On 5 July 2018, it was announced Taylor and Anna Whitehouse would host a new talk show on radio station Heart FM on Sunday nights from 10pm to 1am.The narration by the author herself really helped with this, as it infused some otherwise daring statements with warmth and personality.

She's a regular on BBC 2 satirical show THE MASH REPORT, with her clips becoming worldwide viral hits, with one notching up over 100 million views online, being shared by Madonna and Jennifer Aniston . EXCLUSIVEKate is reunited with her three children for the first time in two weeks after leaving hospital. Her performance is excellent and I’d wholeheartedly recommend this to everyone who’s either expecting a child or has children! However, it earned the confident and utterly hilarious comedian a whole load of new and appreciative fans.Becoming a mother has been the most transformational, brilliant, horrendously awful thing I have ever done and I feel incredibly passionate about sharing honest accounts of pregnancy, birth and life with a ratbag child. Her little face when I would come and collect her was a snapshot of anguish as if I’d left her with a pack of hyenas as opposed to some nice ladies with childcare qualifications and exceptional Goosey Goosey Gander skills. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for my advanced copy of this book in exchange for a review. She has hosted Live At The Apollo and series five of The Great British Pottery Throwdown, and was a contestant in the twentieth series of Strictly Come Dancing.

I’ve laughed out loud, cried and mentally screamed, “Yes, I knew I couldn’t be the only one who thought/felt like that! Her thoughts on motherhood are especially honest and she lays bare how hard it is but also how rewarding she has found it. There is definitely room for a genuine, warm, funny “nobody told me” style narrative on conception, pregnancy and new motherhood but for me, this didn’t nail it. The ultimate Valentine's Day countdown - here are 10 romantic gestures to help sweep your partner off their feet! For anyone who is pregnant, or trying to weigh up whether or not they ever want to be pregnant, this is a really helpful insight into what you might experience and - importantly - that all of the negative experiences and emotions that you may go through are NORMAL and OK!In 2014 Ellie took her first hour-long solo show ‘Elliementary’ to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival it proved so popular that she had to put on a run of extra weekend gigs to accommodate the demand. Ignoring nearly all rock traditions, experimenting in near-total secrecy in their Dsseldorf studio, Kraftwerk fused sound and technology, graphic design and performance, mo. Raw, candid and hilarious, Ellie Taylor's My Child and Other Mistakes is the funny truth about motherhood and all its grisly delights.

Taylor has been a regular on the BBC TV stand-up-comedy programme Live at the Apollo, both as a featured act and as a host. As someone who is coming to motherhood later in life, always fairly uncertain as to whether I’d ever have children at all, this book has provided much reassurance, guidance and (much appreciated) laughter.In December 2019, it was announced that Taylor would step down from her Heart FM show to focus on her TV commitments. It then travels through via various highlights and lowlights including; the pregnancy itself, childbirth, navigating the early days of life with a new-born, and of course, motherhood. Women should not feel bad about having time apart from their children and having the audacity to enjoy it. In 2021, she published her debut book, My Child and Other Mistakes, which became a Sunday Times bestseller. What I didn't expect was how honest and open it was about areas of motherhood we rarely discuss, the early newborn stage, the post C-section aftermath etc.
