Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh has revealed she was the victim of sexual assault at the age of 12.
The 44-year-old said talking to a victim of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein for ITV brought back traumatic memories from her childhood.
Ranvir was speaking to survivor Lisa Phillips, 43, for ITV documentary Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile.
Lisa recalled how Epstein attacked her on his Caribbean island when she was 21-years-old.
She said: "I went along with it. You’re not going to kick and scream and fight and yell when you’re on an island."

Ranvir waived her right to anonymity to to express her understanding of Lisa's situation in the documentary.
She said: "Speaking to Lisa brought up something that happened to me when I was 12.
"It happened once —and that person is dead— and so I have an understanding of what it’s like and why you would never want to speak of it again."
The documentary will air on ITV1 at 9pm on Tuesday night and will be available on catch-up on ITV Hub.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
