The meddlesome tales of the fourth estate are a recurring theme in My Story So Far and it is hard not to sympathise with the Liverpudlian as, at various points throughout, he has to pause to refute some calumny peddled against not just him but against his family, girlfriend Coleen McLoughlin and her family.
