Tina Nash suffered months of domestic abuse at the hands of her boyfriend Shane Jenkin, who beat her unconscious and gouged out both of her eyes, leaving her blind. Last year he pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Tina's written a book 'Out of the Darkness' and wants other women to learn from her terrible experience. Also, the real story behind the hit French film Untouchable, about a paralysed French aristocrat and his unconventional carer. Philippe Pozzo di Borgo and Abdel Sellou share memories and jokes about their ten years together. Philippe's book is called A Second Wind, published by Simon and Schuster.
