The Hookup Culture is Nothing New: Esther Rantzen

Stupid enough to share a bed with this

Esther Rantzen has spoken of her revulsion after learning that a former lover has been linked to the child abuse scandal threatening to engulf Westminster.

The broadcaster and Childline founder had an affair with politician Sir Nicholas Fairbairn after they met at a BBC studio in 1966.

Miss Rantzen, 74, played a leading role in uncovering child abuse during the 1980s.
