Virginia Giuffre was "silenced for a year" and "couldn't speak about" her settlement with Prince Andrew, her upcoming memoir has claimed.
In an exclusive interview with GB News' The Late Show Live, the only British journalist to have exclusive access to Ms Giuffre's memoir ahead of publication next week, claims the memoir reveals convicted paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein boasted about "blackmailing" a "network of men".
Mr Crilly also told the People's Channel that Virginia Giuffre claims she can make a case for "both suicide and murder".
Reading from the memoir, he added that the memoir claims Epstein "had always suggested that videotapes he meticulously collected in various bedrooms and bathrooms of his various houses gave him power over others".

Rob Crilly has revealed Virginia Giuffre's 'jet fuel' which kickstarted her legal action against Prince Andrew

Virginia Giuffre also claimed in the memoir that Jeffrey Epstein had "explicitly talked about using me and what I had been forced to do with certain men as a form of blackmail, so these men would always owe him favours".
Prince Andrew is also mentioned in the book, alleging that she was "forced" to have sex with Prince Andrew "three times".
Mr Crilly claimed this is proof of Giuffre providing "a clear motive" for the murder of Epstein. On Donald Trump, he claimed the President "comes out of this book pretty well", and that Ms Giuffre viewed him as "pleasant".
On the Prince Andrew settlement, he told GB News: "There's a chunk of the book at the end which covers the Newsnight interview, that train wreck of an interview and how that provided jet fuel for her civil case against him.

Prince Andrew has announced he is relinquishing his Duke of York title and honours ahead of the memoir's publication
| PA"He wanted to fight on it and clear his name, but actually, things were looking so bad it would have dragged members of his family into court for depositions, it was that bad."
Mr Crilly added: "She wasn't allowed to talk about it for a year, as there was a gag clause. She goes into a lot of depth in this about how the information that Prince Andrew gave in that interview provided all sorts of threads for her legal team to pull on.
"I believe his spin doctor resigned because all the advice he was giving at the time was, do not do this, and I think there was a certain arrogance from Andrew.
"I could have imagined someone in his position giving that sort of interview 15, 20 years ago, rubbishing a victim, saying that she doesn't count, not even saying that he regretted his friendship with Epstein.
"But the fact that he could do this just a few years ago, it really beggars belief that anybody, particularly somebody who had the best education the country could offer, could think that was a good idea."

Mr Crilly also claims the memoir details "nude photographs, nude artwork, and soap in phallic shapes in the bathrooms" of Jeffrey Epstein's houses.
He explained: "The key thing to me is she builds the case for why somebody might have wanted him dead, and this is what she said, 'he'd always suggested to me that those videotapes he so meticulously collected in the bedrooms and bathrooms of his various houses, gave him power over others.
"'He explicitly talked about using me, and what I'd been forced to do with certain men as a form of blackmail, so these men would owe him favours.
"Now we're hearing from Giuffre herself, in the words of Jeffrey Epstein, that this was his blackmail plot. Whether he ever carried it out is unclear, but this has always been the question, who might have wanted him dead and why? And she's she's produced a clear motive here."
Prince Andrew has always strongly denied the allegations made against him by Ms Giuffre.
