She revealed her distaste for Katie Price, her struggles with her parents and how she previously hit two of her boyfriends.

Of Katie Price, Kelly wrote: "We were never mates. She obviously has a sweet side to her character but I felt as if, around me at least, she would be brash and common for the sake of it. She seemed to like nothing more than saying something shocking in the hope of a reaction."

And apparently Katie also tried it on with Kelly's then-boyfriend Danny Cipriani at Geri Halliwell's birthday. Kelly wrote:

"I was with Danny Cipriani at the time, who I'd been dating for a couple of years. [Katie] clocked him and clearly fancied him and came over and said something so lewd we were both left slack-jawed. Needless to say, Danny went out with her a few years later!"

"There was a darker side to the world of WAGS which I was completely unaware of at the start of my relationship with Danny Cipriani," Kelly wrote.

"If you're a horny 22-year-old footballer, or a rugby player in Dublin for the weekend, and there's a girl sending photos like that who is willing to come to the hotel, what chance have you got as the girlfriend? You don't have a hope in hell."

Kelly broke up with Danny after he allegedly gave a stripper his number, and is now engaged to hunk David Macintosh after a whirlwind romance.

Kelly also revealed what happened after she caught Danny flirting with the stripper.

"As I headed back to the table, I saw Danny walking towards me. "Babe", he said, 'I've been looking for you!' I punched him straight in the face," she wrote, then revealing that FOUR bouncers preventing her from having another "pop" at her boyfriend.

And Kelly explained why after breaking up in 2010, the couple decided to give their relationship another go.

"The passion had never gone, there was unfinished <span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan">business between us. He was a complicated, sexy man-child I wanted to figure out," she wrote in her revealing book.

"But I knew he craved attention from anyone who was willing to give it - and there were plenty."

"It was time to get out. For good. I was absolutely sick of being treated like a fool. To think all these women were running around with Danny having kicks and giggles at my expense made me sick."

And Danny wasn't the only boyfriend Kelly punched - she also got violent towards Jason Statham at Madonna and Guy Ritchie's wedding. Kelly wrote: "Jason started to swing his hips from side to side and do a little jive with his arms, saying: "Gywnnie, Gwynnie, Gwynnie. Sexy, sexy, sexy!.. He turned round, only to be met with my fist in his face."

Kelly also spoke of her "violent and horrific" childhood memories, growing up on a council estate in Kent. She revealed how she was arrested for stealing clothing from Topshop, and how she used to dread the weekends due to her parents drinking too much.

She wrote: "My parents would spend too long in the, come home pissed and eat the burnt Sunday lunch. Then there would be a fight and the police would be called. Or my dad would drive off in his truck."

"One of the worst times was when my dad came back from the pub and started throwing furniture around, while Mum and I huddled out of the way."

"My mother, Sandra, called the police and my dad, Kenneth, tried to climb out of the window to escape. He broke his leg trying to avoid them and they had to carry him down the stairs ... It was one of the most traumatic events in my childhood."
