'I got addicted to TikTok and it ruined my life'

A student has told how her life fell apart when she became addicted to social media site TikTok. She told how she would even use the app while driving, as well as late into the night and during uni lectures.

The problem was spotted by a GP when Rebecca - not her real name - was prescribed sleeping pills. Rebecca, 22, said she had a "comfortable" childhood in London, excelling at school and having supportive family and friends.
