Tonight and tomorrow on Channel 5 at 9pm. Shocking true story of the schoolgirl whose mother shocked the nation by hiding her own daughter in the base of a divan bed for 24 days and pretended she’d been kidnapped in order to try and claim a £50,000 reward.....
Gripping story.
it seems unlikely with her mum in prison and with a foster family. I rather hope her life wasn't normal (to her) afterwards but normal in the same way other people are :)
I've seen it before, don't think I'll watch again. Even if Shannon has made good progress since the event, this sort or programme is not going to help her.
We all know the facts of this and those that don't can look them up on the internet if they want to. This is exploitation of a young woman's troubled childhood and nobody should be making money out of it for public entertainment.
How is Shannon and her siblings supposed to get on with their lives when this old news keeps getting raked up.
