Rebecca Ferguson Opens Up About Abuse

Singer Rebecca Ferguson has revealed she was abused while she was staying at a children's home when she was eight-years-old.

During an appearance on ITV's 'Loose Women', she said she kept it from her family and only told one friend.

Speaking to the panel, she said: "I've never spoke about it, I told one friend and then today with you discussing the subject because I'm here talking about my website, I thought it's the perfect time to speak about it. What I'm trying to do is make a safe place where women can speak about their problems.

"I think it affects a woman's esteem and it effects how you go on to be treated by men and what you expect to be treated like. I think if someone has taken advantage of you at a young age it's very hard to have strong self-esteem, it's took me years to build it up. It was something that I put to the back of my mind and made it so it wasn't there. You feel dirty like you've done something wrong."
