The former leader has told a new BBC Scotland podcast that online gossip about her had been “part of the reason” behind the decision.
Former first minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon said the need to seek more privacy in the wake of internet rumours was “part of the reason” for her resignation.
She said: “I’m not naive. I’m not of the view that I will step down one day and be completely anonymous the next day. Among the claims she dismissed in the podcast were that she is a “secret lesbian” and had an extra-marital relationship with a female French diplomat. The rumour mill had claimed the pair bought a house from tennis star Sir Andy Murray’s mother Judy as a love nest.
