Taken from the best-selling, real life diaries of an upmarket escort, this is an eye opening insight into the life of a call girl. Belle, who is played by Billie Piper, is an independent, witty woman who loves her job.
To her family and friends Belle is Hannah, an ordinary girl who tells everyone she is a night-time legal secretary. At work she transforms herself into glamorous, high class call girl, Belle. Belle has made a choice in her life that she thinks she is happy with, but her ability to compartmentalise her life into Hannah and Belle is frequently tested to breaking point.
In the most recent series Belle struggled not only with being Belle and Hannah but also with her new incarnation as a successful published author. She needed her clients to provide her not simply with income but with page-turning material for her latest tome.
