The fact that this woman is not paralyzed and still has her wits about her is a miracle.

[luckystarship]

Why didn't they let her tell her own story?

[margaretdenga]

Christine was the one telling the story here. Give the woman a chance to TELL HER STORY. Please

[robbymonaco]

It is a true miracle that she survived this plummet to earth. Let's hope they never let this depraved man out of prison. He is a psychopath. She did nothing to deserve his wrath.

[carolynwhite]

I see what all the comments Her Talk!! It's Her Story!! Her Miracle!!

[artofsam]

Golden rule of Loose Women, never let your guest do the talking.

[RA-wpth]

Why are the presenters telling the story? No point having the guest there then.

[louisaklimentos]

What a horrible man ! I am so glad she survived and has found a beautiful new life .

[sandiees]

For anyone wanting to know more about her story she has a book "I Survived: A True Story." by Victoria Cilliers

[missj.d]

This Lady would never accept he was guilty for year's and refused to accept it even when confronted by the police so I'm pleased this Lady has come out the other side.

[mymyable]

Why not let her share the story? These presenters are acting as an amateurs

[SK-qhps]

They are not asking, they are leading the conversation not letting her to speak her experience.

[KerryHopkins]

I’d love to know the details of how she managed to not get killed in the jump and what she told police about the gas incident.

[xandrafrancois]

my ex was love bombing me but changed when we married. Always check the past relationship.

[nbbim]

She should have been allowed to tell her story. Christine in particular was quite bad - rambling on with the questions instead of asking 1 question only & making space for Vicki to answer.

[MichaelChernik-zffy]

It's absolutely a miracle that there is no spinal cord injuries as well as not being killed by this maniac who was her husband!

[organicprinciples]

I wish she would be given the chance to use her own words and speak at her own pace. This was her LIFE - not an episode of EastEnders! And at one point, Sue asked her a question with a smirk on her face as if she was about to laugh! 🤦🏿‍♀️ Poor journalism. Instead of feeding her life story to her in sound bites, they should ask 1 question at a time and give her a chance to respond. Then process that response with the audience showing empathy. Instead, it made HER look like a reluctant interviewee. She's obviously nervous to be on TV so it's the shows responsibility to put her at ease. As an ex journalist that's my takeaway 🤷🏿‍♀️

[goharikjones]

Very dignified lady, bless her. Wish these women will stop talking for her..

[jeanne-annstott]

Goodness gracious, let the woman tell her own story! Wow.

[ShoJ]

The loose women panel, are like a group of teenagers in the school playground. All they want is their voice being heard. What a waste of time, this woman had so much to share, if she'd have been allowed to talk, instead they gave her a few seconds after each dumb comment from themselves.
