Ghislaine Maxwell has told how she’s struggling to cope with the food in prison in her first TV interview from behind bars.

The convicted sex trafficker, 61, has explained how she’s struggled being a vegetarian during the first months of her 20-year sentence at a Florida jail.

Maxwell bemoaned the cuisine at her prison, telling how seasoning is banned and so her meals are “beyond tasteless”.

Speaking to Jeremy Kyle on his TalkTV programme, Jeffery Epstein's former girlfriend said: "The portion control is very odd.

“And when like me you're on a no meat diet, you're supposed to have either hummus or cottage cheese or tofu for you but most of the time, I'd say about 95%, it's tofu if it's anything or beans.

“95% it's beans or otherwise you have a tofu substitute. And then the tofu has no seasoning, there's no seasoning allowed.

“No salt or pepper or anything. So it's beyond tasteless.”

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence at a Florida jail for her involvement in Epstein's crimes which included luring young girls to his private island as well as massage rooms between 1994 and 2004.

But despite being involved with Epstein's crimes, Maxwell claims she is not the person that she is portrayed to be, adding it's a misconception she is the "meanest, most poisonous person," before saying she hopes their victims can have a "productive" life.

Elsewhere in her interview with Jeremy Kyle, she told Epstein's victims to take their 'upset and disappointment' up with cops who she claims "allowed" the sex offender's death to happen.

Maxwell said she feels "completely divorced" from the Jeffrey that people often talk about since the notorious paedophile was outed for his horrific crimes.

"I say that Epstein died and they should take their disappointment and upset out on the authorities who allowed that to happen,” she told Kyle.

"And as I said I hope they have some closure by the judicial process that took place."

Epstein was discovered dead aged 66 in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in New York, where he was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

The convicted sex trafficker also explained how she regrets ever meeting her former boyfriend and claimed she had no idea he was "capable of evil".
