MY MOST WANTED LIFE ENGLISH EDITION - RAY COKES...

Ray Cokes is undeniably a legend to most Europeans over the age of 30. Initially starting out
in life as a fully trained chef  he took on various jobs  before gaining experience as a radio
and TV host. In the mid 1980s  Ray joined the famous music channel MTV and later started his
pioneering TV show MTV's Most Wanted - which made him a huge star across Europe  at times
drawing more than 60 million viewers. Cokes delivered a form of talk entertainment music show
that was completely unheard of at the time  an unscripted unrehearsed television experience
that has since been widely copied. Now  with his trademark candour and cheekiness  Ray presents
in his own words  a comprehensive picture of his adventurous career lived off the beaten track.
From his beginnings as a chef in a rundown hotel in Brighton and first tentative steps as a TV
host in Belgium  to his rise to superstardom as the face of MTV Europe. In this revealing work
he also provides insight into his personal life and the time after MTV  detailing a severe
depression and serious addiction during the excesses of the 1990s. Naturally  there are stories
about his meetings with the big stars  including a special wedding present from The Cure  and
his short time as a close friend of Robbie Williams. He talks about the uncompromising rules of
the media industry and  for the first time  reveals the truth behind the fateful evening in
Hamburg  which brought his career as an MTV VJ to an end. MY MOST WANTED LIFE is Ray Cokes au
naturel - open and honest  and just as funny and entertaining as his unforgettable TV shows.
Tune in and discover the man behind the grin.
