TV presenter Laura Whitmore has opened about being stalked - admitting she felt "mortified" when she went to police to report it.

The former Love Island host revealed she was being stalked a few years ago but felt afraid to talk about it because she was made to feel embarrassed by cops at the time.

Speaking on BBC Breakfast yesterday, she said: "I had a stalking incident years ago and I almost was afraid to talk about it because there's embarrassment, when I went to the police at that time.

"I was told it was 'kind of expected with the type of job you have' and then you're a bit mortified and you don't say anything else.

"So these three films that I've made about different topics, the darker side of humanity looking at everything from toxic masculinity to cyberstalking and more. I need to talk about these things because if we don't talk about it, it won't get better."
