I wrote a tennis book about Chris Evert and her then-husband, John Lloyd. It was called 'Lloyd on Lloyd' and became a No 1 bestseller.

I left influencing the media to other members of my family, like my Mum.

When I was a kid, I watched mainly films on TV and pop programmes like 'Top of the Pops.'
