Publisher's Synopsis
'The highlights of my extraordinary journey with Mr Clarkson included pizza with Harry and Wills; dancing with Mick Jagger on the private island of Mustique (Mick had to pull me up after, shamefully, I could not recover from the twist!); and having happy birthday sung to me by Brian Ferry and Richard E. Grant. I was asked out by Hugh Grant (and went!); partied at what I called Jimmy Carr's celebtastic house parties attended by Sir Elton John, James Corden and the like; and, at Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch's engagement party, I received the ultimate compliment on my outfit from the Dame Joan Collins. 'The adventures, laughter, drama and excitement were never-ending. Party after party, celeb after celeb, private villas, palaces, MPs and royalty adorned our crazy life on this road less travelled. From the low-budget, dark, smoke- and fume-filled halls of Earls Court Exhibition Centre and the NEC in Birmingham, where the highlights of our nights out were a good curry and gallons of beer followed by ridiculous games of girl-on-girl arm wrestling and the Celebrity Loo Roll Challenge - this entailed Clarkson, Hammond, May or The Stig having to return from the bathroom with loo roll tucked down their trousers, trailing a length of loo paper from cubicle to table without it breaking - Jeremy ascended to great heights, both in his professional career and his personal life. So too did our relationship, leading me into a social circle that most can only dream of.' In The Wonderful World of Jeremy Clarkson, Phillipa Sage shares her continuing adventures with her extraordinary, some might say, 'rogue' boyfriend: a man from humble beginnings, who became one of the most powerful and world-renowned journalists and presenters. Phillipa became part of Jeremy's fascinating social circle, wining, dining and holidaying with some of the most influential media moguls, prime ministers, celebrities, aristocrats and royalty. Jeremy and Phillipa started building a life together on the infamous Clarkson's Farm, where she saw what she believes to be the real Jeremy Clarkson - enjoying home-making and country life mixed with the odd big night out and luxury holiday. Sadly, the relationship failed, but Phillipa celebrates and shares the memories of their incredible adventures in an extraordinary world.
