Worth saying that Franzori didn't reach out in the kind of traditional way.
She'd spent months and years trying to get everyone to do something.
We were like her last port of call.
And she didn't trust us either, frankly.
I talk about in the book why she wouldn't trust us.
But I've often said, and I kind of find myself trying not to say it now, which is I'm so grateful to everyone that trusted me with their stories.
But actually, they didn't really... It's not a kind of, I trust this guy.
It was like, God, this guy's listening.
Beesworth ago.
And that was it.
That was it.
It wasn't a kind of like, oh, I've seen this guy.
I really trust him.
He's a really good person.
It was like...
itv are are doing stuff about social housing like i've tried everyone they're worth calling and that's what it was it was it was we felt like the only place people could go to raise these problems and that is like the biggest indictment of the system that's the biggest failure of the system when the media are people are the place people should go it's staggering though it is worth saying it is staggering it still ends up leading the news at 10 o'clock
I think it's something, even within ITV, it's something that we never really used to do, which is kind of lead the news on something that you wouldn't... I mean, look, we're speaking on a day where there's a lot of politics around, and there's obvious days where you lead the news on Iran, Trump, whatever.
But actually, we never really used to do what we did that night, which was say...
hang on a sec i've never seen anything like this before and if i'm honest with you and i talk about a little bit in the book but i'll give a bit more here there were people in my newsroom who didn't think this was a lead story in fact some people didn't really think it was much of a story at all before i told them and showed them they were like look you've you've filmed some damper mold in a council flat i mean okay i mean it would barely make news at 10 never mind lead it and
It would show, I think, firstly, the extreme nature of the conditions we found.
