Books – The Guyliner
WEBI’ve written four novels so far, with a fifth due in 2025. My first book deal, in 2017, was with Little, Brown and produced two novels, comedies (more or less): The Last Romeo (2018), and The Magnificent Sons (2020). In 2021, I collaborated with Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing on his fun memoir I Can Explain.It’s good!

The Last Romeo - The Guyliner
WEBMay 31, 2018 — My debut novel came out in 2018. THE LAST ROMEO (lesson 1 in being an author is you must only ever write your book title in CAPS – I have no idea why) was published by Little, Brown and I am VERY excited about that tbh..
