A BBC actress has told of her horror after discovering her landlord planted a spy cam in her bathroom.
The Scots star — who has appeared in prime-time comedies and dramas — found the recording device hidden in a washing basket after taking a shower.

She fled the flat before watching back the footage and finding intimate clips of herself — plus an image of the creep changing the memory card.
Cops have launched a probe. Last night the telly star said: “I was in a state of absolute shock. He filmed me when I was at my most vulnerable.”
The performer told how she moved into the property in France last July after a break-up with a boyfriend.
Her 40-something landlord — whom she believed was a drug user — soon seemed suspicious.
The actress recalled: “Something didn’t feel right with him.”
Later she found two holes drilled into the bathroom wall which she plugged with cotton earbuds.
And the night before she found the recording device she claimed the sicko spiked her drink.
She recalled: “It was like something out of a horror movie.
“I always used to notice this little black dot in the washing basket across from the shower.
“I never in a million years thought he’d be spying on me. But given what had happened the night before, I went to have a closer look.
“My heart just stopped and I burst into tears. There was a green light flashing on the camera.
“I knew that it was on and I was being recorded.”
Initially she remained in the bathroom and switched off the lights fearing the sicko could be waiting outside “with a knife”.
Eventually she packed a bag and fled the property before returning with cops days later.
She eventually plucked up the courage to watch the video and was horrified saying: “I was in complete shock.”
Police said: “The subject of the complaint is a violation of privacy by filming or recording or transmitting the image of a person of a sexual nature.”
