Speaking to hosts Josie Gibson and Phillip Schofield, Sharon said: “We do look at serial killers and go, is there a way to keep them in?
“Can people get away with it? So we said look, is there a way legally that she could go through this if she pleads a certain way, and the research team read out 25 counts of illegal activity she’d done just on-screen, that we knew about.
“Probably more off-screen. So she’s broken the law 25 times… probably not.”
