So far we've met Lucy Fitzwilliam the therapist, Carrie Jade the activist, Lucy Hart the au pair, Claudia Bronwyn the bridesmaid, and Rebecca Fitzgerald the autism therapist. But before all of these identities, there was just one woman, Samantha.

In this episode, Sue Perkins and Katherine Denkinson uncover the true story of Samantha Cookes, a woman whose life was changed by an unimaginable tragedy.

The Surrogate

When Lucy Hart, a smiley 26-year-old from the UK arrived in Tullamore Ireland in 2014, she seemed like the perfect au pair. But the truth behind Lucy's life before she became an au pair spanned two countries, three children and a long history of lies.

In this episode, Sue Perkins and Katherine Denkinson hear stories from the women who hired Lucy to look after their children and dive deep into a story stranger and darker than anybody could have predicted to investigate the woman behind the identity of Lucy Hart.
