She fled the flat before watching back the footage and finding intimate clips of herself — plus an image of the creep changing the memory card.
Cops have launched a probe. Last night the telly star said: 'I was in a state of absolute shock. He filmed me when I was at my most vulnerable.'
The performer told how she moved into the property in France last July after a break-up with a boyfriend.
Her 40-something landlord — whom she believed was a drug user — soon seemed suspicious.
The actress recalled: 'Something didn't feel right with him.'
Later she found two holes drilled into the bathroom wall which she plugged with cotton earbuds.
And the night before she found the recording device she claimed the sicko spiked her drink.
She recalled: 'It was like something out of a horror movie.
'I always used to notice this little black dot in the washing basket across from the shower.
'I never in a million years thought he'd be spying on me. But given what had happened the night before, I went to have a closer look.
'My heart just stopped and I burst into tears. There was a green light flashing on the camera.
'I knew that it was on and I was being recorded.'
Initially she remained in the bathroom and switched off the lights fearing the sicko could be waiting outside 'with a knife'.
Eventually she packed a bag and fled the property before returning with cops days later.
She eventually plucked up the courage to watch the video and was horrified saying: 'I was in complete shock.'
Police said: 'The subject of the complaint is a violation of privacy by filming or recording or transmitting the image of a person of a sexual nature.'

Fans turn on ‘people's champ' Bryson DeChambeau as footage emerges of ‘disgusting behaviour' towards Open volunteer

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FANS turned on 'people's champ' Bryson DeChambeau after footage emerged of his 'disgusting behaviour' towards an Open volunteer. The American tied for 10th in Northern Ireland as Scottie Scheffler finished top of the pack. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Fans turned on Bryson DeChambeau for his behaviour towards an Open volunteer 2 The American did not live up to his billing as the 'people's champ' Supporters were hoping to see DeChambeau battle for first thanks to his popularity as the 'people's champ.' But the two-time US Open winner suffered a backlash after a video showed him acting rudely towards an unpaid volunteer. DeChambeau hit a wayward golf ball into the long grass over The Open weekend. The mis-hit clearly irked him as he trudged his way over to find it.

Bev, who was invited to sing at Glasgow's Pride in the Barrowland ballroom over the weekend, is getting rave reviews for her self-penned song I'm Leaving You, released this week. The Scots writer and broadcaster, whose family in Morningside used to own an Edinburgh music shop in the North Bridge Arcade, began singing properly during the pandemic when she tried to entertain neighbours and friends from her flat balcony. Her love of singing started long before that. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Bev Lyons performs her debut single I'm Leaving You at Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow She said: 'I've always loved performing and I used to sing at family parties when I was wee but I couldn't look at my audience cause I was too scared. In more recent years I messed around in my bedroom, writing music on GarageBand.' Although Bev has always championed other singers she did once get a chance to perform with one of the UK's biggest pop stars. She explained: 'I won a karaoke competition to be one of Boy George's backing singers at Abbey Road for a re release of Karma Chameleon. It was an amazing experience and I thought that was my 15 minutes of fame.' Being a busy showbiz journalist soon took over and Bev put her singing dreams on the back burner until lockdown when the world of red carpet events and glitzy parties came to an abrupt stop. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Bev Lyons already has a successful career as showbiz journalist and broadcaster but has only just released her debut single I'm Leaving You With extra time on her hands she returned to her love of singing taking virtual lessons from renowned vocal coach Robert Wishart. She said: 'I'd been thinking about adding songs to my hosting work and had contacted Robert about that - and over lockdown, I sang on Facebook and tried to entertain my then-bored neighbours with some balcony tunes.' Her online lockdown performances got a huge thumbs up and when life got back to normal after Covid she was asked to appear at live gigs. She said: 'I love being able to sing to bigger audiences. Usually I would perform covers which I really enjoy but I began thinking it would be cool to develop some of my own songs. 'My debut single is a pop song about life after love, inspired by songs by Cher, Miley Cyrus and Gloria Gaynor. It's a real upbeat anthem about hope, strength and survival."

Bev posted up a brief excerpt of her new song on her social media and it's already received acclaim from some of her celebrity followers including Deacon Blue's Lorraine Mackintosh, Bay City Roller Stuart Woody Wood, Showbiz star Ross King, River City's Tom Urie, and Scottish singers May Miller, Jesse Rae and St Phoenix. This weekend Eurovision icon Miriana Conte also told her she loved it after hearing it backstage. Bev said: 'I'm really hoping the song resonates with people and can't wait to see where it ends up. I'm absolutely loving the buzz and excitement just now and to be able to perform it at the iconic Barrowland Ballroom was a dream come true. I have been told I'll get radio play from some stations but I don't believe anything until it happens. As Oasis once said: 'I'll just roll with it.'
