Anna and Zoe were discussing their experiences of being trolled online, which led Anna to say: "The biggest thing we also bonded over was what happened to Caroline Flack.

"I think the pain we both felt separately, because I didn't know her, of a woman lampooned by the media but also coming back to what you and I both experienced online.

"The tearing apart, like a Harlem witch trial."

Zoe agreed, saying: "Like a burn her on the steak kind of situation, which was horrendous to witness."

She added: "On a professional level, it was one of the worst things I've ever seen. On a personal level, it was one of the biggest heartaches I've ever been through, because she was my friend for a really long time."

Zoe, who met Caroline at the start of her career as they both had the same agent, continued: "I wish that I could have done more for her, and for a long time a lot of us felt like we'd let her down because we couldn't save her."
