Trinny and Susannah: What They Did Next

Apart from fashion, what other interests do you guys have together?
T: We go skiing together. We go on holidays together.
S: We have a passion for books. We have our own little book club!
T: I help Susannah with music, she helps me with clothes.
S: We both love food. I do love cooking.

In terms of the other fashion shows on television at the moment, what are your views on them? What do you think of the likes of Gok Wan?
T: He’s great, really great.
S: What I love about him is that he is so right for now. We were right for our time, but he is right for now. He is the right person to have – it is more about fashion, it is for a younger audience and he comes across as a really warm, kind hearted person. I think he’s done brilliantly and is doing a really good job. Our time was then, his is now.

Aside from your fashion shows, I always remember you when that infamous appearance on Parkinson with Meg Ryan…
T: Oh my god! The Meg Ryan interview was just so embarrassing.
S: It was so painful! We hadn’t met her before as being the big superstar that she is, she didn’t sit in the green room with us as we waited to go on. And then of course when she came out the interview was appallingly bad. At the end of the interview he (Parkinson) just turned to us and whispered “C***! What a c***!” we couldn’t believe what we were hearing!
T: It was so funny, but I think she was probably going through a tough time in her career, so I kind of felt for her. I think she just thought ‘fuck it, why do I always have to be nice?’ You should always do something to the best of your abilities, but I think she perhaps let herself down a bit. She could have been really having a shitty time and you just never know what is going on in someone’s life.
