Jaye Griffiths broke down in tears as she detailed the abuse she was subjected to by a violent ex partner. The actress has only just started to speak out about her dark past and was visibly emotional during an appearance on Thursday’s Loose Women.

She said: “Once I started [talking about it], I couldn’t stop. I rarely think about it but I just feel so sorry for her. And sad that it took me so long to extricate myself and find myself again. I was marvelling that I was remembering things, thinking how did I survive it? I was still working, still cleaning the house, we still went out.”

The TV star, who currently stars as villainous farmer Celia Daniels on ITV soap Emmerdale, is now happily married but remained tearful as she admitted that she is ‘no longer scared’ every day like she once was.

She added: “He was there, jolly. Now that my life is gentle and peaceful, and I’m not scared every minute of every day…sorry, it’s just I go right back, that’s what’s so extraordinary and I’m myself again.

“I’m living a life that’s so beautiful. I love my home and my husband. There is no drama, I save it all for hurting people at work!” The soap star then pleased with viewers to remember that it is never their fault.

Kelly Brooks’ pay cheque for appearing on I’m A Celebrity is out of the bag – and it’s an eye watering sum.

The 45-year-old is rumoured to be one of the highest paid celebs on this year’s series, which kicks off on Sunday November 16. According to reports, the model turned TV presenter and actress could stand to pocket as much as £300,000 for her turn on the ITV show.

She is already said to be worth £7.5 million from her career as a model, which began when she was 16, and led to her becoming a lads’ mag favourite in the Noughties. In 2005, she was crowned the ‘world’s sexiest woman’ by FHM.
