Taylor, 18, was forced to withdraw during the girls’ tournament, after being struck down with a mystery illness.

Police launched an investigation.

Nazrin is media consultant to Taylor, who is ranked 377 in the world.

She said: “I had the front page scoop which was shared by Martin and Sam from the paper, but it was my story that was brought to them. In total, I had four articles with shared bylines but they were my news.”
