Rebecca said: 'I was abused in a children's home. I've never said that.
'I've never spoke about it. I've told one friend. Today, because it's a subject, I thought it's the perfect time to speak about it. I was eight when it happened.'
Bravely talking about how it affected her in later life, she said: 'I think it affects a woman's esteem, how you go on to be treated by men it has a big effect.
'I think if someone has took advantage of you from a young age. It's very hard to have strong self-esteem. It's taken me years to build it up.

'It was something I put to the back of my mind like it wasn't there. You feel dirty like you've done something wrong. I think everyone knows I'm really bad at picking men.'
She has previously said: 'My mother [Anne Jameson, 58] wasn't well when I was growing up.' [Rebecca has never disclosed what her mother's illness was.]
Offering her some support, Saira said: 'I would love you to come to counselling with me.
Rebecca replied: 'I think I do need to. I’ve never talked to anyone about it.'
