Ruth Dodsworth has opened up about the coercive control that she suffered at the hands of her ex-husband for almost a decade.The ITV weather presenter appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain to talk about the harassment she endured as a clip from her new documentary, Controlled By My Partner? The Hidden Abuse, was shown on the programme. Speaking to presenters Kate Garraway and Adil Ray, Ruth said of the abuse: “I was his wife. I was his possession.
And in a sense, that gave him the right to do pretty much what he wanted and treat me the way that he wanted.” Ruth’s ex-husband Jonathan Wignall was jailed in April 2021, after pleading guilty to one count of coercive and controlling behaviour. As the court heard, Wignall, 55, tracked Ruth’s car, accessed her phone with her fingerprint, and set alerts for her TV appearances throughout a nine-year campaign of harassment and stalking. Speaking on the GMB sofa, Ruth, 46, said that in the days leading up to his arrest she was receiving "hundreds and hundreds of phone calls a day" from her ex-husband, as well as constant text messages.
Ruth is currently preparing for Wignall to be released from prison after serving half of his three-year sentence. “I am scared,” Ruth admitted. “I’m very scared.
My family are scared, my mum. We do worry about what’s going to happen.” She explained that Wignall will be on home release, which will see him wearing a tag and on a curfew, but questioned whether this will be enough to deter him from continuing his previous behaviour.

Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway became overwhelmed with emotion as she met a nurse who cared for author Michael Rosen during his Covid battle - and then learned that she had also cared for her husband Derek, whose battle with the disease is still ongoing. As the realisation hit home, Kate, 54, who married Derek in 2005, felt urged to share a hug with Beth Dixon, and leapt up to do so after being reassured it was fine to by co-host Richard Bacon. Knowing that Derek had been on the same ward as the acclaimed children’s writer, known for books like We’re Going On A Bear Hunt, Kate said: “I have to ask you on a personal note, because you cared for Michael, and Derek, we’ve now found out, was two beds away.
Kate Garraway was left 'overwhelmed' during her latest appearance on Good Morning Britain after she finally met one of the nurses who helped care for Derek Draper as he battled the devastating effects Covid had on his body.

The pair were joined in the studio by much-loved children's author Michael Rosen, who thought he was on the programme to chat about his new book and own battle with the virus.
