Product Information

I think every working woman will relate to this story. I was enraged in places and cheering certain characters on, then questioning my own judgement. An intelligent, thought-provoking and highly topical story with some great twists. -- ALLIE REYNOLDS Clever, compelling and chillingly plausible, Payday is a deftly plotted thriller that ratchets up the tension right until the final couldn't-see-it-coming twist." - Ellery Lloyd Walden was in the gym at the time – she alternates between Roar, ‘where they put you on heavy weights and high protein’, and Core Collective, ‘which is full of the Made in Chelsea cast’ – and only got wind of it all when her phone began pinging with messages from concerned friends. In the ensuing fallout, which eventually saw him resign, Morgan asked his wife to read an apology the management at GMB had drafted for him to sign. ‘He never asks me to do stuff like that normally, so I was quite flattered.’ She told him he couldn’t possibly sign it the way they’d worded it. She didn’t think he should have walked off. ‘But nor did he, in hindsight. However, what he said about that interview being full of inconsistencies and untruths has been proved right in so many ways.’ A medida que la noche (y los tragos) avanzan comienza a surgir un plan para que todos conozcan al verdadero Jamie, solo que algunas fueron solo verdades a medias y de pronto es muy tarde para parar todo.

The amazing thing about her husband, Walden tells me, is that ‘the exterior and the interior of Piers are the same – it really is just yet more Piers. And it’s so, so refreshing to be with.’ This is a couple so in tune with one another that they’ve rounded each other’s edges into a comfortable comedy act. Walden naturally gets the best lines.

Isn’t it a bit awkward when she’s written something particularly sharp? ‘Honestly, I don’t think anyone in LA ever read anything I wrote in the UK. They barely knew who David Cameron was.’

Her own name would have a similar effect on these two women, she realised. They were bound by that, now. I’m an awful wife,’ Walden says serenely, flirty red tea dress swishing as she places a tray of coffee, water, cans of flavoured waters, bowls of nuts – hostess-with-the-mostest-style – on a Biedermeier-y coffee table next to a chessboard, ‘because I never, never used to watch him.’ With complex female characters spiralling out of control, Payday is tense, full of twists, and impossible to put down -- HELEN FIELDING
