Crissy, 60, told the Loose Women panel that when her mum and dad moved out of the family home, she wanted to stay with her nan and grandad because “she loved her nan that much”.
When she was seven-years-old, her grandad began to abuse her, dragging her out of bed by her hair, she explained.
He would throw her in a “freezing cold bath” and scrub her, telling her she was “filthy and disgusting”.
“The horrible thing is, I have a phobia of having a bath,” she said.

She said: “I was like, ‘how dare you just die and not say why.'”
