ITV weather presenter Ruth Dodsworth has shared a harrowing picture her abusive ex husband sent her children in a bid to manipulate them.
The 46-year-old broadcaster was subjected to a nine-year campaign of abuse by Jonathan Wignall. Wignall was jailed last year for coercive behaviour against the mother of his children.
He has been refused early home release, but Ruth is still preparing for him getting out of prison later this year. While his shadow still hangs heavy, Ruth said she is determined to look for the positives, is learning to live her life again and has a burning desire to use her case to help others, Wales Online reports.
