A video in which Francois Fillon's wife, Penelope, reportedly says she has "never been the assistant" of her husband is set to air on French TV on Thursday night - as the couple fight to prove that her €900,000 earnings were legitimate.
The presidential candidate has spent the past week explaining that his wife worked fairly to earn around €900,000 over eight years as a parliamentary aide, first to Fillon and then to his fellow MP Marc Joulard.
His wife Penelope, who has said in the past that she prefers life in the shadows, has been splashed over the front page of every newspaper in the country in recent days.
And now, it appears that an old interview is about to come back to haunt her.
Envoyé spécial, a French investigative TV programme, claims to have ten-year-old footage of Penelope in which she denies working for her husband. Full story...
