Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid supports Louise Minchin after stalking hell

Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid has publicly aired her support for BBC’s Louise Minchin after she spoke about her “stalking ordeal” during an interview.

Louise spoke to You Magazine and opened up about the experience which left her terrified for her own safety.

The incident occurred in July 2020 and Louise “made a call in fear” after “violent threats were posted online” about the star and her 18-year-old daughter Mia.

After two years, with her stalker now in prison, Louise still thinks that her life will “never be the same”.

She said: “I don’t speak about it lightly, it was a horrific time that has had a massive impact on our family. It’s Mia who has encouraged me to share what happened to us because if I can make any difference to others going through something like this, and raise awareness, I will. I want them to know they’re not alone.”

The presenter said “this can happen to anyone” and it can “strike any life”.

The BBC star said that she is “just one” in an “enormous group” where “around 1.5million people in the UK are affected by stalking” every year.

She also said that the “good outcome”, which is prison time, “only happens in a very small percentage of cases”.

Louise shared her article on Twitter and received positive reception from her 258,200 followers.
