“She has nothing to add to what she has already said.”
Breaking down in tears on today’s Loose Women, Rebekah said: “It was – sorry – really, really hard. It’s probably up there with one of the worst things I’ve had to deal with, apart from being abused by my step dad when I was younger.”

She said: “It was hideous. It was horrible. I don’t think I was prepared for what was to come.”
The new mum added: “I had severe anxiety attacks. I ended up in hospital three times. I had kidney stones.
“I felt I couldn’t go out without people questioning, ‘Did she do it? Did she not do it?'”
