He said: "When I first came out of the house, so many people asked me about doing a book.
"I felt I didn't have enough to talk about until now... I've done over 800 TV shows, been around the world, got my own production company - I've got this wonderful honour of being successful in my own right," he told What's On TV.
He revealed that the key to his success was that he had a trade before Big Brother.
"It helps to have something to offer the industry," he said, and also cited "hard work and honesty" as reasons for his continued success.
