She said she “wasn’t quite prepared for the visual” but “Barry really went for it!”
She was given a minor synopsis of how the song would be used, but wasn’t given any context.
Emerald Fennell was happy Ellis-Bextor agreed to let them use the song, as they didn’t have a Plan B.
Ellis-Bextor and Keoghan “had a giggle” when they met each other.
“I’ve been singing ‘Murder’ for over 20 years and it’s so nice that it still has the power to surprise me.”
