Camilla Thurlow came second on Love Island in 2017. More recently, she has impressed viewers in the latest series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. But that’s not the most interesting part…
Camilla can do something that none of her fellow contestants, and not even the ex-Special Forces directing staff on Celebrity SAS can do: find, neutralise and destroy the landmines that threaten the lives and livelihoods of so many people in the world’s former war zones, and make their land unworkable.
This is at once a memoir of an extraordinary life, by a very remarkable young woman, and a script for living one’s life to the full. Camilla Thurlow is a highly independent spirit whose thoughts and experience will resonate with anyone seeking meaning in a world where women are too often discounted, or who frequently feel alienated amid the frenzy of contemporary life.
Not The Type will inspire a whole generation to dare the seemingly impossible. This is a book based in part on Camilla’s meetings with inspiring women who have helped shape her and taught her invaluable lessons. It is also a book about learning to confront one’s own anxieties in a world frequently dominated by celebrity culture, and about being a woman in what is, still, all too often a man’s world.
Author Biography
Camilla first came to our screens in 2017 when she warmed the public’s hearts on ITV’s Love Island. Her openness and vulnerability proved popular, with the public voting her in second place. The most asked question – why did this explosive ordnance disposal expert apply to Love Island? She wanted to confront the fact she didn’t have a personal life having spent long periods abroad with her humanitarian work. Asked what was more intimidating Afghanistan or Love Island? ‘Definitely Love Island!’
Keen to bring her two worlds together, Camilla filmed her first documentary for ITVBe, What Camilla Did Next. The show followed Camilla as she returned to her pre-Love Island roots as an explosive ordinance disposal expert in Cambodia, whilst also juggling the busy London life she has made for herself since appearing on the show.
