Collins portrayed Cindy Beale on EastEnders from 1988 to 1998, before landing the role of Stella Price in rival soap Coronation Street in 2011.

The currently untitled book will be available in April 2014, and will document her early career as a singer before rising to fame on television.

She will also discuss her battles with eating disorders, how she walked out on her wedding to entrepreneur Parry Cockwell and her court battle with Italian ex-partner Fabrizio Tassalini for custody of daughter Maia.

Collins said in a statement: "I've been asked many times to write my story but the time has never been right. Now it's the right time."

What to Read Next

The actress will leave Coronation Street in 2014, at around the same time of the release of her book.

She said that she might consider returning to the soap in a few years' time.
