Majella O’Donnell is to return to the Late Late Show to launch her official autobiography.
The book, ‘It’s All In The Head’, will be officially released on October 9th.
And Majella will tell host Ryan Tubridy all about the book when she appears on Ireland’s biggest chatshow that evening.
It will be an emotional return for Majella who in September last appeared on the show to have her head shaved for the Irish Cancer Society.
There was a huge public response to Majella’s appearance and she managed to raise more than €600,000 for the cancer group.
The book begins with her childhood in the 1960s, growing up in a small town in Ireland, her early love of music and dreams of a future full of hope and excitement, only to be dashed by a broken marriage and an uphill battle with depression.
Her confidence and self-esteem at a low ebb, Majella decided to take charge of her own life and make a fresh start.
The book then reveals that destiny lent a hand when she met Daniel O’Donnell, and their marriage in 2002 brought her immense happiness and fulfilment.
It was a decade or so later that tragedy struck, with the diagnosis of her breast cancer.
The book’s publisher describes it as “the compelling story of a woman made extraordinary by the courage with which she faced her greatest challenge.”
