Trinny and Susannah: What They Did Next

How much is what we see on screen true then? The documentary is based upon your exaggerated real life personalities?
T: We draw from experiences, because we’re not actresses we have to draw from our own experiences in the past, but the whole premise of the show is all a script. You’re following a storyline that is a made up storyline.

What are the real Trinny and Susannah like then? You’ve been working professionally now for 14 years. How did you first meet each other?
T: We met through a neutral friend – a very good friend – and we were both at a transition in our careers so the timing was perfect. We started writing a column together in The Telegraph, which we did for seven years. And from that we did telly, and books, and internet, and products and finally this.

So how close are you both? Do you speak to each other every single day? Do you ever get sick of each other?
T: We probably speak every day, and we are best friends. It’s like being married. I think we probably know more about each other than our partners do! It’s very lucky that we know each other. We are literally like soul mates.
