Twelve months later, the public voted to crown Jim Davidson as the winner of the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother. Finally, with all charges dropped and no further action being taken, and with the public offering him their staunch support, Jim can finally look back on his year from hell. Facing a series of damaging false allegations, Jim was forced to fight, not just for his reputation and his career, but for his freedom too. Mounting legal costs and a deepening sense of injustice saw Jim sink to the lowest point of his career as the infamous Operation Yewtree investigation threatened to ruin him both financially and emotionally. Finally, after months of pain came the words he and his supporters had been waiting to hear, No Further Action. Now, with the public's approval, Jim reflects on this painful period with wit and humour that have made him so successful. Searingly honest 'No Further Action' pays tribute to those who stood by him and takes a wry look at what life is like under investigation in the public eye. Scarce signed. Signed by Author(s).
