BBC Documentary Explores Michelle Mone's Rise and Fall

The BBC is set to air a two-part documentary titled 'The Rise and Fall of Michelle Mone', chronicling the life of the millionaire lingerie entrepreneur and Baroness, who became embroiled in a PPE scandal during the Covid pandemic. Mone, known for founding the Ultimo push-up bra, gained prominence in the 1990s and was appointed a Baroness in 2015. However, her reputation suffered when she utilized her House of Lords position to promote PPE Medpro, a company accused of supplying faulty equipment, leading to a £60 million profit for her and her husband. The documentary will explore her entrepreneurial journey, featuring insights from friends, colleagues, and journalists who witnessed her rise and fall. Erica Jenkin, the director, expressed excitement about delving into the societal implications of Mone's story, which reflects broader shifts in contemporary Britain. The documentary is expected to air early next year and aims to provide a balanced perspective on Mone's complex narrative.
