The launch of former Hollyoaks actress Davinia Taylor’s new book took place in Liverpool, with celebrities including Coleen Rooney in attendance.
Davinia spoke to the ECHO earlier this month about her new book It’s Not A Diet, which has become a Number One Sunday Times best seller. It focuses on shifting your mental state to become more motivated.

Over 80 people attended the event at The Watering Can on Greenbank Road, to help Davinia celebrate her new book. This included Coleen Rooney, celebrity make-up artist Cassie Lomas and celebrity stylist Lorraine McCulloch.
Coleen posted a photo on her Instagram of herself with Davinia, Cassie and Lorraine at the event.
At the book launch, which was organised by Carolyn Hughes PR in association with legal firm Astraea Linskills and The Watering Can, Davinia chronicled her journey from being overweight, depressed and unmotivated to becoming healthy and happy.
Davinia spoke about different moments in her life, including her wild days in London and becoming a mum of four. After lunch, Davinia answered questions from her guests and DJ Dave Seed ended the afternoon with a set of dance classics.
The owners of Fashion brand Lavish Alice Lee Bloor and Matt Newton also attended the launch and were delighted Davinia chose one of their outfits for the occasion.
The book launch also raised £1,000 for the Love Wavertree Food Club.
On the day, Davinia said: “I have loved every second of today meeting up with mates and I had a great time. A fantastic lunch with wonderful people. It is great to be back up north!”
