BBC star reveals horror after landlord recorded naked images on hidden spy cam
She claims he spiked her drink the night before she discovered the device Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BBC actress has told of her horror after discovering her landlord planted a spy cam in her bathroom. The Scots star — who has appeared in prime-time comedies and dramas — found the recording device hidden in a washing basket after taking a shower. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 A BBC actress (pictured) opened up on her spy cam ordeal as cops launch a probe Credit: Newsline 4 The clandestine device was stashed inside a washing basket in the bathroom Credit: Supplied 4 The performer's pervert landlord inadvertently filmed himself on his own device Credit: Supplied 4 The shocked star quickly removed the camera and fled the property Credit: Supplied 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.'

How Liam Neeson has fallen ‘madly in love' with Pamela Anderson after filming sex scenes together for Naked Gun reboot
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ON the face of it Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson make for an unlikely couple. He is the 73-year-old Oscar-nominated star of Schindler's List from Northern Ireland, while she is the 58-year-old former Baywatch babe synonymous with Hollywood glamour. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 7 Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson might make for an unlikely couple Credit: Instagram/chopslobsterbar 7 Liam and Pam in the reboot of The Naked Gun Credit: Alamy 7 Leslie Nielson and Priscilla Presley in Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult Credit: Alamy But having made a reboot of The Naked Gun movies together, Liam said about Pamela: 'I'm madly in love with her.' During their promotion of the comedy — which first hit screens in 1988, starring Leslie Nielsen — the actress took snaps of the smartly suited actor's crotch, while he pretended to photograph her as she giggled on the floor. The off-screen chemistry went further with Liam planting a gentle kiss on the side of Pamela's head as he held her waist. Liam also joked that his favourite part of making The Naked Gun, which opens on August 1, was 'the sex scenes', which the pair were given an intimacy co-ordinator for. Liam added: 'I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, 'OK! Excuse me!'. 'Acts like silly little boy' Pamela chimed in that the co-ordinator knew when to walk away and joked that she stormed off, with Liam claiming she threw her hands up in the air and said, 'I can't take this! This is too hot for me. I'm going for coffee'. It's not clear whether this outrageous flirting between the pair is to help promote their film. But five-times married former Playboy model has made it plain she is not intending to turn Liam into husband number five. She commented of her co-star: 'I think I have a friend for ever in Liam and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy.' She added: 'He really is a silly guy. He acts like a silly little boy sometimes.' Pamela Anderson stuns in her first scene in Baywatch However much they admire each other though, Liam admitted to never having seen Baywatch, explaining: 'It wasn't my thing.' Pamela's response? 'I watched Schindler's List!' But after Liam watched her Golden Globe-nominated performance in this year's The Last Showgirl, he was impressed, saying: 'She was real. She was funny. Incredibly sexy.' The connection is clear to see, which perhaps is not so surprising as both Liam and Pamela have suffered personal heartache. The Irish actor had been married to actress Natasha Richardson for 15 years when she died in a skiing accident in 2009 aged just 45. Liam, who was left to raise their two sons, Micheal, now 30, and Daniel, 28, alone, struggled to believe she was really gone. While Pamela has told how she was sexually abused and raped in her childhood. She also contracted hepatitis C after sharing a tattoo needle with first husband Tommy Lee. They divorced in 1998 and he was later jailed for assaulting her. Both Liam and Pamela, who first rose to prominence in the 1990s, saw their high-profile careers implode. A string of box-office flops led Pamela to conclude her Hollywood career was over and to relocate back home to Vancouver Island in Canada around 2020. In 2019, Liam was shunned after revealing that in his youth he had wanted to kill a random black man in revenge for a rape of someone he knew. She was real. She was funny. Incredibly sexy Liam on Pammi Having expressed his apologies, the actor is now back in demand, with scripts rolling in. Pamela is enjoying the most fruitful period in her acting career, earning her Golden Globe nomination for her brilliant performance in The Last Showgirl. Perhaps their humble beginnings gave them the strength to claw their way back. Pamela's dad Barry was a furnace repairman and mum Carol was a waitress, while Liam's dad Barney was a school caretaker and mum Kitty was a cook. There are other things the pair have in common. They both like to garden, read every night before going to bed early and dote on their new puppies. 7 Liam in the upcoming reboot of the film Credit: Alamy 7 Liam had been married to actress Natasha Richardson for 15 years when she died in a skiing accident in 2009 aged just 45 Credit: PA:Press Association 7 Pamela with her ex-husband Tommy Lee Credit: Getty Neither, though, would have been the first names to spring to mind if you were remaking The Naked Gun. Leslie Nielsen, who died in 2010 at the age of 84, was always going to be an incredibly tough act to follow. His deadpan performances in Airplane! in 1980 and The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad! in 1988 transformed them into much-loved movies. Liam has made his name as a tough guy in the Taken films and had only made one comedy before. He was surprised to be offered the role by producer Seth MacFarlane, whose credits include Ted and Family Guy. Liam said: 'I didn't think I was funny, far from it. But I really enjoyed those Leslie Nielsen movies. We have a connection. I'll follow him anywhere Pammi on Liam 'When Seth pitched the idea, I thought maybe he saw something in me.' Pamela has done comedy, such as Blonde And Blonder in 2008, but had recently become more famous for her animal rights activism than acting. When Liam saw her audition tape he felt certain she was the right person to take over from Priscilla Presley as The Naked Gun sidekick. He said: 'It was a no-brainer.' 7 The Naked Gun opens on August 1 Credit: Alamy And once they got on set, that appreciation grew and grew. Liam continued: 'She's just terrific to work with. 'I can't compliment her enough. 'No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film.' Pamela is equally complimentary about her 6ft 4in co-star. She said: 'He brings out the best in you with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honour to work with him.' Pamela, who has two sons, Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27, with her ex-husband Tommy Lee, said Liam was 'the perfect gentleman' who 'wrapped his coat around me when I was cold'. Fans will get the chance to see how strong their chemistry is when the movie comes out in less than two weeks. If it is a hit, a sequel to this remake is sure to follow. Pamela has already confirmed she would be up for another Naked Gun if Liam is. Talking about her co-star, she said: 'I'll follow him anywhere.' Cupid might just be listening.
