Rochelle Humes looked startled and full of concern on Thursday's This Morning as it was revealed that a colleague on the show had been the victim of a sinister Instagram scam, which saw her lose control of her account and be bombarded with texts.
As she continues to fill in for Holly Willoughby, who is missing This Morning all this week to host new ITV show The Games, former star of The Saturdays, Rochelle once again joined Phillip Schofield in the studio as the award-winning daytime programme aired its fourth episode of the week. After an hour of camera rolling, Rochelle and Phillip welcomed regular contributor Alice Beer to the show to talk about the importance of having up to date security settings on social media platforms.
And, as the strap line 'How To Protect Your Social Media Accounts,' appeared on screen, Alice revealed that the issue of online security breaches hit very close to home for the This Morning team as green room co-ordinator Fleur had been targeted after someone posing as her friend tricked her into being part of a scam. A trail of messages from Fleur's Instagram inbox flashed up on screen, with the scammer, using her friend's name, appealing for Fleur's support to win a 'referral.'
