It was so awful because people were saying things like, ‘I’ll never watchBake Offagain.’

Leith’s admission made headlines last month when an excerpt from her book waspublished by HuffPost UK.

They are only a few hours old.

They will hardly know it’s happening.”

The kittens “fought like the devil for life,” Leith writes.

“I held the bag under the water until the last kitten had stopped mewing.”

Leith told HuffPost UK of the excerpt, “I wrote about it honestly in my book.

“And I guess perhaps she thought it would be a life lesson for me.

It was the most traumatic, awful, horrible experience.”
