The truth is out there for Maitlis and Scully

GILLIAN ANDERSON, who plays Emily Maitlis in a forthcoming Netflix film about her infamous interview with Prince Andrew, had a chance to grill the former Newsnight star when they bumped into each other at a charity event yesterday.

And neither was giving too much away, judging by the crossed-arms postures they adopted at the Turn The Tables lunch in aid of Cancer Research at Bafta in Piccadilly, London.

While The X-Files star, 54, wore black trousers, Maitlis, 52, sported a pair of thigh-skimming suede boots. The film is based on the book Scoops: The BBC’s Most Shocking Interviews, by producer Sam McAlister.
