She denied sending him the alleged 41,000 emails sent to Gadd, some of which were shown in the show, adding: "It's simply not true."

She added: "If somebody was sending somebody 41,000 emails or something, they’d be doing how many a day? Lots. How many would that take somebody to type up?" Pressed on where this information came from, she replied: "I've no idea."

She later said she sent him 'a few emails' and approximated 'less than 10' when questioned
