"I'm a prisoner. I'm not allowed to leave. There is someone watching me every minute of the day."

Media superstar Melanie Lange has disappeared.

Her father, billionaire business tycoon Sir Peter Lange, says she is a danger to herself and has been admitted to a private mental health clinic.

Her ex-husband, Finn, and best friend, Nell, say she has been kidnapped. They are deeply concerned for her safety.

The media will say whichever gets them the most views - no matter what the cost.

But whose side are you on? And where is Melanie?
