The former girlfriend of disgraced Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins has broken her decade-long silence, revealing the chilling moment she discovered the true nature of his monstrous crimes that shocked the nation.
In an exclusive and emotional interview, the woman who once shared her life with the rock star describes how she remained completely unaware of the depravity unfolding behind closed doors during their relationship.
The Day Everything Changed
"I was as shocked as everyone else," she confessed, recalling the earth-shattering moment Watkins' double life was exposed. "The man I thought I knew simply didn't exist."
Her world came crashing down when police arrived at her door with questions that would unravel the carefully constructed facade of one of Britain's most successful rock musicians.
Living With a Monster
During their time together, she describes Watkins as presenting a completely normal persona - a far cry from the predator who would later be revealed to the world.
"There were no warning signs, no red flags that could have prepared me for what was to come," she revealed, still visibly shaken by the memories.
The Aftermath and Recovery
Since Watkins' conviction and 29-year prison sentence for unspeakable child sex offences, his ex-partner has struggled to reconcile the man she loved with the monster exposed in court.
"It's taken years of therapy and soul-searching to process how someone could lead such a double life," she admitted. "The betrayal runs deeper than anyone can imagine."
Now, after years away from the public eye, she's finally ready to share her story, hoping it might bring closure and help others who've experienced similar betrayals.
