Singer-songwriter Janet, 28, who found fame on The X Factor in 2011, shared her account of her past encounter with the controversial figure, following his arrest on suspicion of rape, sex trafficking and organised crime offences.

Andrew Tate, 36, has been accused of violently abusing two women while running a webcam business in the UK, and is currently being held along with his brother, Tristan Tate, in preventive custody in Romania as a police investigation takes place.
