Celia Walden’s Career
Walden is a former gossip columnist and a feature writer. She was the final editor of “Spy,” the now-defunct journal of The Daily Telegraph.
She had worked for the Evening Standard and the Daily Mail, among other publications. Harm’s Way, her first novel, was released in August 2008.
Walden penned a post for The Daily Telegraph on March 24, 2011, in which she expressed her contempt for bicycles.
The story was published the same week that a cyclist was killed by a heavy goods truck (HGV) turning left into her path in central London. The Cycling Intelligence website slammed her column.
Babysitting George, Walden’s 2011 memoir about her time with footballer George Best, was harshly criticized by his widow, Alex Best, who threatened legal action against the book’s publisher, Bloomsbury Publishing.
Gina Devivo, Best’s former mistress, was cited in the Observer as saying that the work was done by someone “with a very excellent imagination.”
“I am more outraged for George since he is not here to defend himself,” Devivo continued. It just didn’t work out like that.
