From 25,000 hopefuls, prestigious judges from the TV and music business selected five individuals to form the Popstars band. Those five band members moved into the Popstars house and started recording an album to be released during the series. Author Maria Malone was there from the very beginning to record every event, exclusively for this book. Including behind-the-scenes photographs and drawing on personal diaries of those in the house, this is the only book to reveal all about the creation of a spectacular TV sensation.
My first crime novel, A Deadly Affair in the Dales (published as Death in the Countryside in the US) will be out in August 2025. I've worked in regional journalism and TV and have ghosted autobiographies (Tony Hadley, Little Mix, Mica Paris, Girls Aloud and others).
