ITV weather presenter Ruth Dodsworth says her abusive ex told her kids that she "didn't want them anymore".
She revealed coercive Jonathan Wignall, 55, took a photo of her while she lay in a hospital bed and sent it to her children. It included a sinister message.
The photo showed the mum-of-two hooked up to several wires, with Jonathan reportedly writing: "This is what it looks like when you don't want your children anymore."
