What is Number One Fan about?
Told over four parts, the series follows Lucky Logan, who is the hottest star in daytime TV.
The synopsis continues: “With a hit morning show, huge following on social media, and a gorgeous family, her life is perfect. Enter Donna.
“Walking through a car park, Lucy’s handbag is swiped by a mugger and Donna intervenes to save the day. Donna is Lucy’s biggest fan and Lucy invites her to visit her on set of her show in gratitude.
“Lucy thinks that’s the end of it, but wherever Lucy goes Donna’s there too. In her studio audiences, at launch events, when she’s shopping, on the school run, outside her house. Lucy can’t escape her, as what starts off as an obsessive fan turns sinister.”
Number One Fan is available to watch on Channel 5.
