Jen, Lindsay, Nicole , Katherine and Gemma worked for Mohamed Al Fayed as his personal assistant for five years from 1986 to 1991 .

Jen had worked anonymously under the pseudonym Alice ’ in the documentary, and her voice was distorted to protect her identity.

Seven weeks on, laughing together on a mild autumn day in London ’s Battersea Park , they are unrecognisable.

Women who worked at Harrods were deliberately isolated from each other.

Nicole worked as Al Fayed’s executive assistant between 2005 and 2007 .

Jen and Lindsay worked in the same office at the same time, but “barely spoke to one another” Nicole says the idea of them speaking regularly would make him “incandescent with rage” if he were alive to see it.
