Jennifer Ellison has branded SAS Who Dares Wins “the best therapy ever” as it helped her finally come to terms with her violent past with a gangster lover.
The former Brookside actress had her world turned upside down after falling in love with gangland thug Tony Richardson in 1999.
That romance dragged her into the criminal underworld in her hometown of Liverpool. She became embroiled in a catalogue of violent incidents from fire-bombings to drive-by shootings.
