It’s “Lolita” on the English Rivera this week as the girls follow the story of a 30 year old Maths teacher, Jeremy Forrest, and his obsession with a 15 year old student - Gemma Grant*.

In 2012, taking a final stab at being together, the pair ran off to France sparking an international manhunt which left both of their lives in tatters.
