Bellingham 'lands autobiography deal'

Lynda Bellingham has signed a £250,000 deal to write a book about her life, according to a report.

The TV star recently finalised plans for an autobiography called Lost and Found after sparking a war between rival publishers, The Mirror claims.

It is thought that Bellingham will now spill the beans on her early life and also open up about her experiences on Loose Women and the current series of Strictly Come Dancing.

A source said: "Lynda has already begun work on Lost and Found and some of it will focus on her earlier acting career.

"But the later chapters will be among the most explosive as they will focus on Loose Women and Strictly. She has only been on the show for a few weeks but she will already know lots of backstage gossip."

Bellingham and her professional dance partner Darren Bennett will perform again on Strictly at the weekend.
