Broadcaster Kathryn Thomas received explicitly threatening and sexualised letters from a number of men while presenting one of RTÉ’s most popular television shows.

Speaking to the Sunday Independent, Thomas said the situation deteriorated to the point that RTÉ had to report the correspondence, which she described as “disgusting” and “misogynistic”, to gardaí.
