“I don’t know what will happen to her,” says Fielding.
As the book sales began to rocket, Fielding found herself in the middle of a newspaper bidding war, as rival titles sought to lure her from, says she had to “fight like a rat” to get the column on board. “I went to Helen’s house with a bunch of flowers and stood in the rain for 10 minutes until she agreed to open the door and talk to me. After that, I had to bombard her with offers and letters.
So Fielding eventually signed – for £100,000 a year – and is now immersed in a giddy whirl of Bridget Jones projects, including two sequels and a film. She is currently writing the screenplay for the film adaptation of her first Bridget Jones book and, for the first time in her life, is cushioned by a large slice of blue-chip financial security. It is calculated that she has made nearly £1 million already, while the imminent launch ofin the US points to a dollar-rich future.
Once ensconced in this singleton nirvana, she joined Lambton Place, the fashionable local health club, and would be an enthusiastic devotee of the area’s rampant cappuccino-society scene – if only she could get it together. “When I wake up in the morning, my hair is disgusting. It looks like feathers. So I can’t go to the trendy coffee bar for breakfast until I’ve washed and dried it, and by the time I’ve finished doing that, well, it’s almost lunchtime.
Her collection of friends embraces “Rowan [Atkinson], Harry [Enfield], all the comedy boys”; her inner circle includes notables such as Mariella Frostrup, TV producer Jane Wellesley and broadcaster Tracey MacLeod. Unlike Bridget – an early discloser if ever there was one – she is not much given to in-depth emotional discussions or baring her soul. “Helen doesn’t dish,” says one chum. “She won’t gossip about her love life, unless you know her very well. She is a good listener, though.
