Petrie also speaks to ex EastEnders actor, Lucy Benjamin, who speaks publicly for the first time about her own phone hacking ordeal and the far reaching effect it had on her relationship, career, mental health and why she began to even suspect her own family of selling stories about her to the tabloid press.
