  • Sophie Kinsella : Shopaholic Ties the Knot

    Sophie Kinsella : Shopaholic Ties the Knot
    Dec 10 2025

    Unbelievably Sophie Kinsella has died.

    This archive conversation was recorded at the Langham Hilton in London and I remember that Sophie ( real name Madeleine) turned up with lots and lots of shopping. That was to be expected because the conversation was to mark the publication of the third in the shopaholic series of stories.

    She was great fun to talk to. That isn't PR spin .... she really was.

    Huge sympathy to her husband and five children.
