Tommy, 38, shares why a life with Down Syndrome can still be exciting and fulfilling with the title A Life Worth Living.
The publisher is looking to give charities who Tommy is associated with, including the Blue Apple Theatre, half a page to at the end of the book to mention their work and how people can support them.
The actor’s mum Jane Jessop founded Blue Apple Theatre in Winchester, to provide a theatre company for people with learning disabilities.
A Life Worth Living will be available from July 6.
