Ranvir Singh fronts new Ghislaine Maxwell documentary set to air after US trial

ITV have announced that Ranvir Singh will front a new documentary about Ghislaine Maxwell.

The upcoming documentary film will feature new interviews with key figures at the centre of the serious allegations of abuse surrounding her and her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

This will include alleged victims and also Maxwell's siblings, some of whom are speaking publicly for the first time on this matter.

Currently awaiting trial in a US jail, 59-year-old Maxwell strenuously denies her alleged involvement in the appalling crimes of which Jeffrey Epstein was accused, which have been blamed for ruining the lives of innocent girls.

The scandal has raised vital questions about the rich and powerful at the most rarefied levels of society and the documentary aims to shed new light on what happened and the people at the centre of it.

The film will cover the trial by jury and will examine how a woman, who mixed in elite circles in Britain and the US, ended up accused of being embroiled in a world of sex trafficking and grooming.

Presented by Good Morning Britain host Ranvir and drawing on exclusive testimonies and archive footage, the film will offer new and revealing insight into Maxwell's alleged crimes.

Provisionally titled Ghislaine, the documentary will also feature interviews with staff, friends, lawyers and investigators.

Maxwell is set to stand trial in New York later this month to deny procuring underage girls for her former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaking from her cell, Maxwell told The Daily Mail recently: "I have been assaulted and abused for almost a year and a half."

She said that in the time she has been detained she has not had a "nutritious meal", and has been given food with maggots in it.

Maxwell said she hasn't slept without lights on, and her eyes have been damaged as a result, and she has been unable to sleep without "constant interruptions".

In her scathing indictment of her treatment, she fumed: "I am weak, I am frail. I have no stamina."

Maxwell could face spending the rest of her life behind bars if she is convicted, but vehemently denies the charges against her.

The new ITV documentary will be shown after the conclusion of the trial.
