The pink cover with a large picture of her face seems to be the only thing Caroline Flack isn't too keen on.
"I wanted it to be a smaller face on the front cover, but they were quite insistent that it had to be quite big," she laughs.
Speaking after the release of her autobiography, Storm in a C Cup, Caroline says writing came naturally.
"I wanted to do it because I like the idea of writing down my memoires," she explains.
"I used to keep a diary a lot when I was a kid. Me and my twin sister used to read each other's diaries - that's how we knew what was going on in each other's heads."

The 35-year-old X Factor presenter doesn't shy away from talking about the tougher times.
Even things she's rarely spoken about before, including her relationship with One Direction's Harry Styles - who was 17 at the time - meaning there was a 14-year age gap.
It led to a hate campaign against her with one magazine, a Girl's Guide to One Direction, even creating a voodoo doll picture of Caroline.
She reveals that she only found out about it because people tweeted it to her.
"There was an actual voodoo doll that went out with arrows pointing to all the bits of the body pointing out all the things wrong with you," she explains.
"Then encouraging children to stick pins in you. I think even my eight-year-old niece was like 'What, what is that?'"
It's now approaching the live finals of The X Factor and even seasoned professionals still get nervous apparently.
"It's nice to be back. But live shows - [I'm] absolutely petrified - I'm not going to lie," she says.
"But, in a good way. It's good to be scared, it's good to be nervous."
And, if it hadn't been for her pal, Dermot O'Leary, she might never have taken the job alongside her X Factor co-presenter, Olly Murs.
"Probably if he hadn't have said that [to go for it] I wouldn't have taken it," she says.
"He's good like that. I sort of got into TV when he was doing Little Brother and I used to just think, 'Wow, he's not like anyone else. It's literally like he's sitting in the lounge talking to his mates.'"
So, are we going to see more of her on-screen after all the stories about Olly Murs getting more air-time?
"I was away - it just happened that the days I was away - I was only away for three days - they found all the talent," she laughs.
"Olly kept calling me up and saying 'Caz, I think everyone's going to be really good today' and I'd say 'they won't be' and they were.
"We literally found all the contestants on the day I wasn't there."
