The anonymous guest, who the ITV show gave a fake moniker for the purpose of the interview, was left devastated when she returned home from work to find her family home had been ransacked by


SWAT teams and police as they hunted down her husband Mark. After being interviewed for six hours when over 10,000 indecent images of children as young as four-year-old were found on his


computer, Mark was let go without charge. Immediately after being grilled by authorities, the father-of-two assured he was heading out for groceries, but he was never seen again after he


ploughed his car into a caravan.  Weeks after Mark’s death, over 800 images of the daughter he shared with Alice were found on the very computer he guarded in his private home office. But


the worst was yet to come when Alice learned that her late husband that not only kept a stash of images of their daughter, but he’d acted on is illicit feelings. She explained: “There was


one episode a year earlier when she said something but I was distracted by my dad’s illness. Something was going on and she said she was viewing images.  “A month after Mark died the family


were struck by a stomach virus,” Alice went on. “She became delirious. She began to gesture things that a four-year-old wouldn’t know to gesture.”  Alice then told the This Morning duo Holly


Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that her husband’s death was a “blessing”.   “Do you think he killed himself?” asked Phillip.  “I don’t know, most people would draw that conclusion,” said


Alice. “He knew he had nothing to return to.” Opening up about her daughter, who she assured was a “normal teen”, Alice explained: “She does have a physical memory of what happened and she


will have to put words to what happened.  “We will leave an open door to it and she knows she can talk to me.” When Phillip asked if she was glad her husband died, Alice continued: “It’s a


blessing he died. It would have been worse to take the children to prison to see him.  “He did us a last blessing by dying and spared us from unwanted attention from the other side of the


Atlantic.” Holly described the ordeal as “the worst” as she became emotional by the interview, saying: “This is awful.” _THIS MORNING AIRS WEEKDAYS AT 10.30AM ON ITV. _
