Twenty years on from her triumphant Pop Idol win, household name Michelle McManus reflects on her rollercoaster life and career, from Baillieston barmaid to record-breaking chart-topper with number one hit All This Time. Along the way, Michelle revisits iconic TV talent moments where Scottish stars captured the hearts of the nation on shows such as The X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent and The Voice.

Joined by high profile friends including Robbie Williams, TV presenter Kate Thornton and Susan Boyle, Michelle delves into the phenomenon of the TV talent show and reveals her never-before-told story, from the fat-shaming she received in the media to reinventing herself, finding love and releasing new music this Christmas.
