Explaining what ACTUALLY happened when she met her sister, Chisholm added: “When I met my sister, a newspaper was actually there. And they photographed us and interviewed us. And when I think about that now I just think ‘what? Why on earth did I agree to that?’

“And why did anybody allow me to do that? It’s insane. I’m so private now. And oh god it just makes me cringe and shudder to think about it.

“But it was just the way it was. That was my normal day life. I would have a tabloid newspaper to follow me round to do something really personal and heart wrenching. It’s so bizarre isn’t it? So weird.”

Although this happened to Chisholm and her family around 20 years ago, it’s worryingly still relevant to the conversations we’re having around press intrusion today.
