Documentary Tells The Story Of Serial Scammer Samantha Cookes

Earlier this year, Samantha Cookes was sentenced to three years in prison for multiple counts of theft and deception. She was found to have posed under numerous fake identities and convinced people she was a victim of discrimination due to her diagnosis of Huntington’s disease. ‘Bad Nanny’, a new two-part documentary on RTÉ One, hears from victims who were conned by Cookes across Ireland and the UK. Alan Bradley, director of Bad Nanny and one of Cookes’ victims, Lynn McDonald, joined Matt on The Last Word. Hit the ‘Play’ button on this page to hear the conversation.
