Emily Maitlis reveals ‘hormonally complicated’ reaction to Gillian Anderson playing her in Prince Andrew drama

Emily Maitlis has revealed the news that Gillian Anderson would be playing her in the upcoming Prince Andrew Netflix film sparked a ‘hormonally complicated’ reaction.

The movie Scoop will be adapted from former Newsnight producer Sam McAlister’s memoir Scoops: The BBC’s Most Shocking Interviews From Prince Andrew To Steven Seagal.

Netflix said it will look at ‘navigating Palace vetoes, to breaking through to Prince Andrew’s inner circle, the high-stakes negotiations and intensity of rehearsal – to the jaw-dropping interview itself’.

The streaming giant added the film will also highlight ‘the journalists whose tenacity and guts broke through the highest of ceilings’ when it was announced.
