Shamed socialite Ghislaine Maxwell will soon be seen on screens - giving an interview to controversial talk show host Jeremy Kyle from behind bars.
The 61-year-old convicted sex offender is currently serving a 20 year sentence in a Florida jail after she was found guilty last year of luring young women and girls to massage rooms where disgraced businessman Jeffrey Epstein molested them.
TV star Jeremy, 57, has interviewed Ms Maxwell for his TalkTV show - with the special episode being billed as Ghislaine Behind Bars.
In their sit down, Maxwell will be heard telling Jeremy about her friendship with the royal family as well as her relationship with Epstein - who died in a jail cell in August 2019 aged 66.

“But since being jailed for sex trafficking, Ghislaine Maxwell has kept her silence, until now.”
He added: “She lifts the lid on Epstein, Prince Andrew and even our late Queen. This is Ghislaine Maxwell behind bars and in her own words.”

Many have taken to social media to slam the planned episode, with one asking: “Why are you giving her airtime?”
And another wrote online: “Giving a convicted sex trafficker air time! Because she is rich and friends of the wealthy!”
On Friday, Mirror’s United States Editor, Christopher Bucktin, revealed Maxwell has taken an exam in order to allow her to work a 99p per hour call centre job from prison.
His report revealed Maxwell is set to take a literacy test to see if she has the skills to work for a telecommunications giant.
The company in question outsources some of its call centre work to Florida’s FCI Tallahassee female prison, where Maxwell is being held.
She will be paid three times more than her current role in the jail law library but she will need a lot of hours to pay off the £644,000 fine imposed by her trial judge.
A prison insider said: “Many of the girls work in the call centre. Customers would never know they are talking to a drug dealer, armed robber, killer or in Ghislaine’s case, a sex trafficker.
