During the documentary, former Strictly contestant Ranvir spoke to victims and also waived her own right to anonymity to talk about her own experience of sexual assault as a youngster.
Whilst interviewing Lisa Phillips, Ranvir confided in Lisa about her own experience of being sexually assaulted.

Talking about the moment on GMB, she said:: "I was acutely aware we were on camera but it's a human to human experience when someone is telling you something so painful.
So I did say to her 'something happened to me when I was 12 and I understand you shouldn't feel guilty about not...'"
Ranvir told her GMB colleagues Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid that, as a result of sharing her own sexual assault on camera and agreeing for that part to be left in the documentary, she then had to tell loved ones, after staying silent on it for years.
Ranvie took to Instagram after Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Peadophile. to reveal she was taking time out, posting: "Taking a couple of days to myself but just quickly wanted to thank everyone who watched yesterday - I’m told it got a 20% share of the viewing figures, which is very good apparently."
And then, sharing the messages she'd received about the documentary, Ranvir added: "Also a big heartfelt thanks to the many who have got in touch to show their support to me personally and to the many others who have shared their own stories too, sadly.
"The reason I needed to speak up has been underlined by those still holding onto their pain or trying to work through it."
The comments thread of Ranvir's Instagram post was quickly filled with messages of support, with GMB host Adil Ray reacting: "Love you," and a fan telling her: "You are amazing and one of the bravest I know"
