Well so some of our correspondents, like Paul (see comments) think.
Dr Brooke Magnanti, a research scientist at Bristol University, recently confessed to being the happy hooker of the Belle de Jour blog.
She even chatted cosily on ITV to Billie Piper, the actress who plays her in the dramatisation of her exploits.
But has Dr Brooke been fooling us, and the sainted Billie, all along?
I think we should be told. Brooke, we await your comments!

She needs to produce evidence form other prostitutes to verify that she really did do it. If she continues to brag to her colleagues at Bristol that she’s in it for a share of the movie rights and was talked into it by the real writer, reported to be a man, then why should we continue to believe her? It’s also been reported that she is simply not attractive enough to work in ‘high class’ prostitution… After having watched the interview with Billie, I’d have to agree with that!
I have no idea why some women embelish their tales of their life in prostitution…it’s colourful enough. But I get a feeling Belle plays to the crowd.
Paul you seem to dislike her…what’s your problem?

It’s hard to ‘like’ modern celebrities really. I guess unlike other’s who will do and say pretty much anything for attention, such as Jordan et al, you can’t help but feel sad for them. Not to mention the other people they seem to be happy to drag through the mud. I know people at Bristol Uni who have been shaken up by the negative press to she has attracted to her department, so I guess I am thinking of those people. Apparently the male students have been very unkind to Magnanti and there is a lot of tension among her colleagues about that. In truth I feel really bad for her as she will have to carry this for the rest of her life. No fun!
