Decorated military nurse Jan Pilgrim says she was 'dumped' by the army over her PTSD.

Original news and exclusive interviews from across the UK with Adrian Chiles. Decorated military nurse Lt Col Jan Pilgrim says she was 'dumped' by the army over her PTSD.

Eight years after the papers dubbed her "Florence of Arabia" for her work in Iraq, Lt Col Jan Pilgrim is out of the army and suffering with post traumatic stress disorder. She tells us about her condition - and says she would have been better off losing a leg than struggling to get mental health support from the military. We also hear from the founder of Friends Reunited on why it's finally closing. And we speak to the fat footballers playing in the Man V Fat league that's only for players with a BMI over 30.
