Rochelle Humes has told how her husband, JLS star Marvin, took her phone away when she began receiving abuse online.
Fans are probably used to seeing the former singer hosting or appearing on This Morning.
But last year, Rochelle used her platform to speak about an important subject.
The mum-of-three presented a documentary that shone a light on the number of black women who die in childbirth.

The Black Maternity Scandal: Dispatches saw Rochelle explores the shocking fact that black women are four times more likely than white women to die during pregnancy and childbirth and up to six weeks after.
However, there was backlash when it was suggested that Rochelle had replaced Candice Brathwaite as host - a claim Channel 4 completely denied.
Rochelle has now recalled the shocking fallout during a chat with Steven Bartlett on his The Diary Of A CEO podcast.
She recalled how the "dial turned" overnight from her announcing her latest role to the backlash starting.
"I announced that I was filming it and did a call out to say this is what we're filming and it sparked a real conversation," Rochelle explained.
"People didn't know those stats and I think that was for me really important that we get that on a big stage.
"Then overnight the dial turned. There was a post that was posted on Instagram from another woman who is an author and a presenter that had said that she had been asked to front the same show."
She continued: "I'd woken up to and seen this post and was mortified, she was a darker-skinned black woman, the first thing I did was DM her 'this is my number, I don't know what s*** has gone down here but this is my number, give me a call'.
Rochelle, 32, also admitted: "I didn't want to make it about me. I didn't want to make it about the fact that actually I was scared to take my kid to nursery that day because I got death threats.
"Marvin did take my phone off me though, I love my phone at the weekend, he was like 'that's going off' and he literally texted everybody that works with me and was like if you need her I'm here but no more phone."
She added: "I turned everything off, I turned off comments and then I was like I'm not dealing with this, I'm just going to live my life and I literally cried for 48 hours and was devastated."
