THE mother of X Factor star Jahmene Douglas is set to release a book detailing her experiences of domestic abuse.

Mandy Thomas has in the past spoken at great length about her experiences of being in an abusive relationship and has committed her story to paper.

Titled You Can’t Run: The terrifying true story of a young woman trapped in a violent relationship, the book is due out in October and is already available to buy on pre-order.

It has been described as Mandy’s memoirs, calling her the survivor of one of the country’s worst cases of domestic abuse.

In one particularly terrifying ordeal, Mandy was sliced with knives and burned her with a blow torch, leaving her almost unrecognisable.

Jahmene reached the final of the X Factor in 2012 and has since had a number one album and been nominated for a MOBO award.

The singer has taken to Twitter, urging people to buy the book.

He wrote: “RT to help save lives & PreOrder my mother’s life story “YOU CAN’T RUN” now! #RaisingAwareness”.

Mandy has also received support from global pop star Nicole Scherzinger, who was Jahmene’s mentor on the singing show and has performed on his album.

She wrote on Twitter: “This book is going to be a pioneer for change. Support my boy @JahmeneDouglas and his brave mom & pre-order it now!”

Mandy, who says the book is part of her mission to get people to speak out, has been working for the charity Women’s Aid for many years but since her son shot to fame she has been able to use it as a platform to raise awareness of domestic abuse.

The pair have fronted campaigns and spoken of the importance in making sure the levels of support are there, such as refuges.

Speaking against cuts to services last year, Mandy said: “In terms of using domestic violence services, I have been there, done that, got the T-shirt.

“I have been through the system and spoken to people who don’t work in specialist services and simply don’t understand domestic violence or have any compassion for victims.

“The result of the experience we have had due to our experience of domestic violence, and the traumatic ongoing effects on our family have meant that I have faced a mother’s worst nightmare and buried two of my sons. This should not have happened. I know that more services are needed, not less.”
