Trouble Brewin - A True Story of Sex, Murder, Love and Betrayal

Product Information

Her last film of 2009 was Alex De Rakoff's crime film Dead Man Running alongside Tamer Hassan, Danny Dyer, and 50 Cent, in which she portrayed the wheelchair-using mother of a criminal who is taken hostage. There is nothing quite like a publicity book tour to bring a celebrity down to earth, but Paula kept her sense of humour throughout, even when her interview on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour was preceded by an item on constipation that was as painfully long as the affliction itself. Good Morning Britain viewers demand Richard Madeley be dropped as he asks guest who lost 21 relatives when. It features interviews with Townsend, who had known Paula since her music magazine days, as well as some of her closest friends and commentators. It was her affair with Australian lothario Hutchence from 1994 — and her split from Bob — which led her down a perilous path.

And this was a decade and a half before the Pregnant Spices and Zoë Ball could Carry On Up The Duff without raising the collective public's eyebrow. Brewin children are still friends with Yates’s three children , Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, and Little Pixie. If she had been airlifted out of there and given proper treatment, I think there would have been hope.

Belinda, too, makes a point of noting Yates's intelligence, saying the presenter and journalist was 'extraordinarily well read'. It was also accepted that she accurately described the extent of her acquaintance with Regan when first asked about this by the police.

Blethyn followed this with roles in Shakespearean adaptations for the BBC, playing Cordelia in King Lear and Joan of Arc in Henry VI, Part 1. Also in 2013 Blethyn began voicing the supporting character of Ernestine Enormomonster in two seasons of the children's animated television series Henry Hugglemonster, based on the 2005 book I'm a Happy Hugglewug by Niamh Sharkey. She hoped to find peace and permanence for herself and her daughters in an idyllic country setting in the heart of Devon.But when she took the heroin that killed her on September 17 2000 – Pixie’s 10th birthday – it was the first time she had used illegal drugs in almost two years.
