On The DeeBrief this week (18 April) Penny chats with Laura Enston – granddaughter of Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain.
This Friday, Penny Dee welcomes Laura Enston – granddaughter of Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain – for a truly powerful and unmissable conversation.
In the wake of ITV’s acclaimed drama A Cruel Love, Laura joins The DeeBrief to speak publicly for the first time about the impact of inherited trauma, media distortion, and the deep personal cost of growing up in the shadow of a national scandal.
They’ll dive into the media myths that defined Ruth for decades, the overlooked truths behind the trial, and why her story is finally being re-examined through a modern, feminist lens. Penny and Laura unpack what it means to reclaim a legacy, and why Ruth’s story still matters for women today.
Expect raw honesty, emotional depth, and one of Penny’s most unforgettable interviews.
🕙 Penny is on from 10am with The Penny Dee Show
