Vanessa Feltz forced to intensify security due to trolls threatening to behead her

The radio presenter has been left shaken following the disgusting threats against her life.

Vanessa Feltz has had to hire extra security because of the number of death threats she has received of late. According to The Sun on Sunday, Vanessa has to be escorted from places for fear of being harmed. The 54-year-old presenter, who currently hosts shows on Radio London and also Radio 2 has been victimised by a barrage of e-mails containing death threats and violence against her. A source, who is part of security for Vanessa confirmed that one of the threats made even went as far as wanting to behead her.

"Any form of death threat is frightening for the target, but the threats made to Vanessa were especially vile. "One even threatened to behead her. They were in emails and were taken very seriously from the start. "The entire security team has been made aware of what has happened. She is happy the best efforts are being made to keep her safe."

The BBC offices where Vanessa works have reportedly stepped up security in efforts to protect the mum of two, who understandably has been left shaken and extremely stressed by the e-mails threatening her life.
