Nadia Sawalha and Linda Robson ‘physically sick’ after tracking down a paedophile for Loose Women investigation

LOOSE Women’s Nadia Sawalha and Linda Robson have revealed their horror after watching a pornographic film sent by a sexual predator.

The TV favourites follow the Internet Interceptors - a group of paedophile hunters - for a new investigative series Loose Women Undercover, which will appear on the daytime show.

During their investigation the pair watched a video which the predator believed he was sending to a nine-year-old girl but was instead a decoy profile set up to catch the perverts.

Nadia said: “We had to turn it off after ten seconds, but the few frames we saw shook us to our core.”

She added: “It disturbed me for days ­afterwards. And if it did that to me, what would it do to a child?

“The guy titled it, ‘Never been seen before’, so a little girl would have had no idea what to expect. She would have been confronted by the most horrific porn.”

Nadia and Linda also saw messages from paedophiles who believed they were grooming young girls.

The predators offered to buy them phones, encouraged them to send naked images before threatening them if they didn’t comply.

Nadia said: “It was heartbreaking because two of the decoys were 13 and nine, just like my daughters. I just wanted to rush home and give them a big hug.”

Internet Interceptors are among a growing number of vigilante groups who confront predators face to face and Linda and Nadia follow a hunter using the name Julie during the series.

Evidence gathered by the group has helped to convict ten offenders so far.

Nadia added: "What Julie does is really dangerous. Since meeting her I’d drill into every app on my children’s phones and ask, is it safe?"

Loose Women Undercover is on Loose Women today at 12.30pm on ITV.
