Trolls. We're Coming to Get You—Episode 3
Description
In this episode, Frankie Bridge meets up-and-coming TV star Zahida Allen who was immediately targeted by trolls when she shot to fame on Geordie Shore. While looking at the sheer volume of trolling she has endured, they notice one particularly aggressive troll who Zahida decides she’d like to confront. As the team search for Zahida’s troll, Frankie meets double gold-medal winning Olympic Swimming Superstar Rebecca Adlington, who despite being described as Britain’s greatest ever swimmer, has received a mountain of abuse about her looks. She also meets comedian Bilal Zafar who turned the story of his racist trolling into a smash hit stand-up comedy routine. Frankie hears about how he was targeted by white power extremists on both sides of the Atlantic after a joke between him and his brother got taken seriously and went viral. The episode ends with a shock as Zahida’s troll agrees to meet her to apologize in person for what he wrote to her. But is he really repentant or just embarrassed to be caught?
