Christmas ‘makes everything worse’ for domestic abuse victims, said Ruth Dodsworth

ITV Wales weather presenter Ruth Dodsworth has said Christmas “makes everything worse” for people who are in an abusive relationship.

The 50-year-old, who was married to Jonathan Wignall, said she would “dread” spending Christmas Day with him, adding that the festive season can exacerbate problems – especially if their partner’s behaviour is triggered by alcohol.

Wignall, 54, was jailed in 2021 after a nine-year campaign of harassment and stalking during their marriage.

Welsh Women’s Aid said the charity sees a “huge spike” in calls to its helpline for support in the days after Christmas.
