She said: ‘I have been really fearing for her safety and mental wellbeing. She was feeling that nothing was ever going to improve, and nobody was going to find out what he was really like.’
‘When I spoke to one of her lawyer friends, he said, “Look Victoria, you have the power to put this out there. I am giving you the go ahead, let’s do this.”‘
‘She was just so broken, and so depressed about the whole thing. A lot of it has been mental abuse, making her feel s**t all of the time, as well as physical abuse.’
Lady Victoria recently posted a series of pictures on the Stories of her Instagram account which has 550,000 followers, showing cuts and bruises to the body of Isabella – who won Channel 4 reality sports show The Games in 2004.
The images showed the results of alleged attacks by her husband during her ‘nightmare’ marriage.
She accompanied the horrific pictures with a series of messages including one saying: ‘This story is to give other women the courage to speak out as it took my sister a long time.’

Another message said: ‘Christophe de Pauw should be put away. He is a serial abuser. He would cheat on my sister and then punish her for it. It has got to a point that we can no longer stay silent.’
She said: ‘My sister also found out there had been an affair before that. He basically thought he could have an affair and go back to my sister, but this time she said she wanted a divorce.’
Isabella who appeared on ITV’s Celebrity Love Island in 2005 and was named as the ‘face of Playboy UK’ in the same year, later came home from a competitive cycling trip after her husband moved out, and found her family home in Portugal stripped of a number of belongings.
