"Holly was more than happy to do what was asked of her, and explain her position, and what she knew, and what she didn't," revealed a source.

ITV managing director Kevin Lygo is another big name involved with the process, commenting at the Edinburgh TV Festival earlier this week: "[Jane] has been talking to everybody involved, they take your phone and look at every single text you've ever sent, email, WhatsApp. "So, everything is available, lots of interviews, talking to everybody and I hope as soon as possible, but probably in September, she will make that public."
