Embezzlement arrest, couple's real names & a house in France… How bestseller The Salt Path may be more fiction than fact
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE question everyone asks about a movie 'based on a true story' is how much is fact and how much is fiction? It is what I wanted to know when I interviewed The Salt Path author Raynor Winn in April about her best-selling memoir, which had been turned into a film starring Gillian Anderson. 5 Author Raynor Winn on the coast path in 2018 5 Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs play Raynor and Moth Winn in The Salt Path Credit: Black Bear Sipping tea from a fine porcelain cup, the softly spoken mother-of-two told me: 'The book's my interpretation of that time.' Well, that is one way of putting it. This week it was alleged that crucial parts of Raynor's prize-winning book were more fiction than fact. In her account, Raynor, 62, and her husband Moth were made homeless in 2013 after an investment went horribly wrong. During the same week, Moth, 64, was diagnosed with rare and fatal neurological condition, corticobasal degeneration (CBD), which affects movement, speech and memory. With nowhere else to go, the couple trek for 630 miles along Britain's South West Coast Path. Life expectancy But according to a lengthy investigation by The Observer newspaper, the reason Raynor lost her house in the Welsh countryside was that she embezzled £64,000 from an employer. The report also found evidence that the Winns, whose real names are Sally and Tim Walker, owned a house in France at the time they were supposedly homeless. Perhaps, just as disturbing, was the suggestion from nine neurologists and researchers that they were sceptical someone could have survived for so many years with CBD, which has a life expectancy of around six to eight years. It was certainly the most niggling doubt I had about the Winns' story when I sat down with Raynor, who likes to be called Ray, at a historic hotel in London three months ago. When Moth was diagnosed in 2013 it was suspected he'd already had CBD for six years. Today, he is not only still alive, he lacks acute symptoms and is going on walks. Raynor told me: 'There are many, many theories that swirl around, and there's very little fact, because these illnesses that come under the umbrella of CBD. 'They don't receive much funding because they're so rare, and so we understand very little about them.' It was a convincing answer and there is no proof that Moth does not have this fatal condition. Patients do defy predictions, with doctors unsure how the late Stephen Hawking was able to live with motor neurone disease for 55 years. There is strong evidence, though, that when Raynor was Sally Walker she got into trouble with the law. Two decades ago she worked part-time as a bookkeeper for an estate agency in Pwllheli, North Wales. Raynor's claims it was all just a business deal that went wrong really upset me. When really she had embezzled the money from my husband. It made me feel sick Ros Hemmings A local police officer told how Sally was arrested and questioned after the company's owner Martin Hemmings reported that £64,000 had gone missing from the accounts. One of Sally's unnamed relatives offered to pay off the sum in return for Martin not to pursue a criminal case against her. This was agreed to, and the bookkeeper went free. But Sally had put up the family home in Wales as security for the loan from the relative and this debt was then passed on to other people. They wanted the money back and when the Walkers could not pay up, a judge ruled they had to give up the property. In the book, Raynor blames it on Moth's childhood friend 'Cooper'. Martin Hemmings died in 2012, but his widow Ros said: 'Her claims that it was all just a business deal that went wrong really upset me. 'When really she had embezzled the money from my husband. It made me feel sick.' There is also evidence that the couple put their home up as a prize even though the judge had said it should be repossessed if they could not sell it. It was offered 'free of mortgage or any other legal or registered charge' in a draw available to anyone who bought a book called How Not to Dal dy Dir [Stand Firm], written by the author Izzy Wyn-Thomas. In the end the house was taken from the Walkers and it is unclear if anyone entered the prize draw. The couple were never charged with any offences, so details of these events lay hidden until now. 5 Gillian and Raynor at the Munich Film Festival last week Credit: Getty 5 The real-life couple at a London film screening in May Credit: Getty Raynor has not spoken publicly about the claims, but in a statement said: 'The Observer article is highly misleading. 'We are taking legal advice and won't be making any further comment at this time. 'The Salt Path lays bare the physical and spiritual journey Moth and I shared, an experience that transformed us completely and altered the course of our lives. This is the true story of our journey.' They gave no clarification as to exactly what was 'misleading'. After losing their home, the couple remerged as Raynor and Moth Winn in 2018 when The Salt Path was published. Her vivid account of their trials and tribulations in Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Dorset is full of convincing details. If there is anything that I hope people take from this film, I would really love it if people walked out of the cinema and saw someone in a doorway they would see them slightly differently, maybe just as an individual, not a difficult statistic Raynor And when I spoke to the polite author, her recollection of events were replayed with authority. It was impossible not to feel sympathy when Raynor told me how a woman called her a tramp when she scrabbled around for change in the gutter. No one has suggested that the pair did not live in a tent or go on the 630-mile walk. But it did seem remarkable that this middle-class couple, hailing from the West Midlands, did not have friends who could put them up for a few weeks while they got back on their feet after their home was repossessed. Down and out The Observer found documents that appear to show the Winns bought an old house in the south-west of France in 2007, and still owned it during the years they were 'homeless'. That flies in the face of the passionate feelings Raynor expressed to me about being a rough sleeper. She said: 'If there is anything that I hope people take from this film, I would really love it if people walked out of the cinema and saw someone in a doorway they would see them slightly differently, maybe just as an individual, not a difficult statistic.' Raynor, who has written about homelessness for The Big Issue magazine, gave a performance that Gillian Anderson would have been proud of. When she said it, I felt no doubt that this was a woman who had truly been down and out. But I was certainly not the only person who seems to have been taken in by her warm words. Prior to this week's revelations, the X Files and Sex Education actress Gillian, who met Raynor before filming started, said: 'When I read the book, I could not get it out of my system for weeks. It changed my perspective on homeless individuals, on people living rough, on the fact that any one of us at any time can become homeless and destitute.' The film's producers put out a statement on Monday denying knowledge of Raynor's past. 5 The book won the Royal Society of Literature Christopher Bland prize in 2019 and was shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award A spokeswoman for Number 9 Films and Shadowplay Features said they 'undertook all necessary due diligence before acquiring the book'. Why would they not believe a story that had won the Royal Society of Literature Christopher Bland prize in 2019 and was shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award? The critically acclaimed film, with Jason Isaacs playing Moth, made more than £7.5million at the box office when it was released in the UK in May. But plans to show it in the US and other countries have now been thrown into doubt. Raynor is due to release her fourth book, titled On Winter Hill, later this year. Fans may not be so keen to read this account of her walk from coast to coast in the north of England with all the doubts about her reliability. Despite the controversy, the website of her publisher, Penguin, still describes The Salt Path as 'unflinchingly honest'. Half of that phrase still carries weight. The Raynor Winn I met was certainly unflinching.

Love Island fans say Casa Amor hunk sounds ‘desperate' as they uncover gameplan
LOVE Island fans have said that a Casa Amor hunk sounds 'desperate' as he tries to win the heart of an OG villa girl. American bombshell Toni has been romantically linked to Harrison since he arrived in the villa, but with a rocky romance so far - Casa Amor might have come at the right time. 4 American beauty Toni was seen flirting up a storm with a Casa hunk Credit: Eroteme 4 Cach is keen for Toni Credit: Eroteme 4 Fans are suspicious over the hunk, though Credit: Eroteme With Harrison flirting with the Casa girls in a different villa, Toni got to work flirting with the new guys who arrived in the main villa. On Monday night, Toni flirted with Boris, with viewers convinced they might couple up and win the whole show. But tonight saw a very different story play out. Chatting and flirting with hunky Casa boy Cach, Toni got her head turned. Flirting with one another and getting friendly, the pair even shared a smooch. But fans were not convinced. Some thought that Cach was disingenuous and called his "desperate" behaviour out on social media. "This dude with Toni sounds a bit desperate," said one person on X. "It's giving ick but at least he's focusing on Toni," they added, alluding to him being desperate and wanting to get picked to stay in the villa after Casa. Other viewers weren't sold either. Love Island fans feel sick as Harry tells Casa Amor girl he'll give her an orgasm and teases they'll have sex soon "I actually don't like Toni and Cach together.. can't put my finger on it but nahhhhhhhh," said one suspicious fan. "I feel like cash is just saying anything," added a second. "I'm not sold on toni & cach, but anyways, go off," penned a third. But other viewers were seemingly keen for the pair to couple up and get together. Love Island 2025 - Casa Amor girls WHO are the latest bombshells heading into the spin-off villa? The Sun exclusively reported the identities of the six beauties heading into the ITV2 spin-off villa, after it was teased during last week's episode. The Love Island newbies were seen strolling into the compound clad in swimwear - with one already having a connection to Harry. On the show's official Instagram page it teased: "Amor the merrier… who's ready for Casa Amor?" and now we can report the full line-up. Lauren Wood, 26, Emma Munro, 30 Lucy Quinn, 21 Yasmin Broom, 26 Andrada Pop, 27 Rheo Parnell, 26 "TONI YOU BETTER RECOUPLE WITH CACH RN," said one. "Toni has upgradeddddd. That is my girllll," penned a second. A third wrote: "I didn't like Cach yesterday but he's so much more likeable around Toni. And Toni's no longer miserable, so that's a plus…" While a fourth said: "toni getting to know someone else rather than trusting h*rrison in casa, god smiled on me today." And a fifth added: "TONI IS EMOTIONALLY FREE FROM HARRISON." Just 24 hours ago, Love Island fans were keen for Toni to couple up with a DIFFERENT Casa boy. Slovenian hunk Boris got close to Toni on Monday night when they complimented each other and got a little flirty. Viewers loved the chemistry, with one writing on X: "Toni and Boris are my winners." A second said: "Ok I'm ready to declare Toni and Boris the winners." A third posted: "I hope Toni picks Boris, they look great together." Another wrote: "I genuinely need Toni to bring back Boris so I can't see Harrison get humbled expeditiously."

Trust in Riddle: Fritz credits girlfriend after Wimbledon win sets up semifinal vs. Alcaraz
Morgan knows best, apparently. Taylor Fritz thought the motivational note he wrote to himself after losing at Wimbledon four years ago would stay private. His girlfriend, influencer Morgan Riddle, later shared it on social media. "That note was never supposed to be public,' a smiling Fritz said after his 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) win over Karen Khachanov set up a semifinal meeting with two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. Fritz had written to himself in the note that 'nobody in the whole world is underachieving harder than you' and urged himself to get his act together. Not only does Fritz forgive Riddle, he also credits her for having such a big impact on him rising to No. 5 in the world rankings in pursuit of his first Grand Slam title. 'There's been a pretty constant results-and-ranking rise since we've been together,' Fritz said. "I think I would have to say she's been a big help to me just kind of keeping me focused, having someone who cares and just pushes you to just do better and do the right things, be healthier. "Almost like kind of just mother me in a way," he added, chuckling to himself, 'with like, the diet and going to sleep on time.' A smiling Fritz later added: 'Yeah, that maybe wasn't the best choice of words.' The 27-year-old American, who was the runner-up at last year's U.S. Open, didn't face a break point in the first two sets against No. 17 Khachanov, who rebounded in the third set. It was 4-all in the fourth-set tiebreaker before Fritz claimed the final three points on Court No. 1. It's the first time Fritz has reached the last four at Wimbledon. He's won two grass-court titles this season — Stuttgart and Eastbourne — and was happy he wouldn't be facing Alcaraz on clay, which would be 'an absolute nightmare.' 'Grass is very much so an equalizer. It can be an equalizer. So trust in how I'm playing,' he said. 'I truly know the way that I played the first two sets today, there's not much any opponent on the other side can do.' Alcaraz: Golf first, then Fritz The second-seeded Alcaraz is within sight of a Wimbledon three-peat. He extended his winning streak to 23 matches this season by beating Cameron Norrie 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 on Centre Court. Alcaraz, who has beaten Novak Djokovic in the past two finals at the All England Club, faced only five break points and saved all of them. He wants to hit some other greens, though, before he faces Fritz 'For sure I'm going to play some golf, just to switch up my mind a little bit,' Alcaraz said The 22-year-old Spaniard has been playing golf with Andy Murray during his Wimbledon run. This time, his opponent could be actor Tom Holland, whom he had run into earlier. 'I would love to play against him in the golf course. For me it would be such an honor. I will try to set it up in these two days that I will have much time to do it. So let's see if he will be available, and we'll tee it up.' ___
