Fake | Preview (ITV1)

Fake is inspired by the bestselling book of the same name by Stephanie Wood and tells the story of Birdie Bell, played by Asher Keddie (Nine Perfect Strangers), a magazine features writer who thinks she’s found her perfect match when she meets successful rancher Joe (David Wenham, Pieces of Her), on a dating app.

But as the relationship intensifies, Birdie is torn between Joe’s magnetic pull and the instinct that her boyfriend isn’t all he has led her to believe. FAKE is a story of deception, a tense and exhilarating exploration of the illusions life lays out for us, through both the lies we are told and the lies we tell ourselves.

All episodes of Fake will be available to stream exclusively on ITVX from Sunday 27th April. The series will also air weekly on Saturday nights on ITV1 from Saturday 3rd May.
