@ItsBenCowell Fair point and really interesting. Having looked into it, Channel 4's FOI service is pretty good and transparent – however I would have assumed the requests came under ethics. Absolutely fascinating that the call can come from inside the house and no one can can move.
What’s blowing my head off is that I first heard about this expose in 2020 — but NO ONE and I mean NO ONE wanted to give actual names, because they were scared of legal consequences. When it didn’t appear after a year, or even two years, I assumed the expose had been halted.
She was, and I have no doubt will continue to be, the most optimistic person I have ever met. Pure sunshine personified, a force to be reckoned with, and terrifyingly (!) efficient. The world is so much less without her, but her legacy is astounding, and positive, and sunny.
Aside from her kindness and brilliance, Maddy Anholt was hilarious. Hilarious. She had the rarest ability to turn even the worst scenarios into a gentle, astute, slapstick bit – and her laugh would light up a stadium, nevermind a room.
Maddy was one of the sweetest, FUNNIEST and most hard working women I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with. Just utterly beautiful and so talented. She made me laugh so much. Sending every ounce of my love and support to her family. A devastatingly tragic loss ❤️
