Bookings are flooding in for Ashley, so the next stop is catwalk training in Paris. This includes a swish hotel for her chaperone (and mum) Pauline, who is drinking in every moment of her daughter’s success. Pauline finds herself dealing with press opportunities and PR strategies. Egged on by Murray, she is soon talking a different language to everyone else, especially her canteen colleague Val, who she lets down, badly. Terry goes ballistic when he sees a risqué poster shot of Ashley in the middle of Runcorn. He finds himself asking: In this industry, who can you trust?
