Crime + Investigation teases: "Coming in September, Laura Whitmore on Britain's Killer Teens explores the reasons why some teenagers turn to murder. Each episode dissects one teen killer case in forensic detail, featuring insights from experts and investigators.

"This Crime+Investigation series aims to uncover the factors that drive teenagers to commit such crimes."

Ahead of the series premiere, Laura has spoken out about the "mind blowing" series and issued a stark warning to parents, reports OK!

Speaking about one case, in which an 18-year-old killed his own parents before jetting off on holiday, she said: "I think Brian Blackwell blew my mind because he was well-educated, got a place in a top university and was from a really good upbringing, lovely parents, and despite that, he killed his parents.

"That shocked me. Then he went away on holiday for two weeks with his girlfriend while they rotted in their house."

Whilst acknowledging all the featured cases are deeply disturbing, Laura revealed it was the victims she wanted to champion as she explained: "They all angered me, to be honest. Sometimes it's how long it takes, particularly for some families, how long they have to wait.

"Trying to understand the legal system where they've had to wait so long, and the perpetrator's name isn't put out there. The victim's family are harassed. They've had to live in their house with their curtains closed and they're harassed while the perpetrator is not named.

"And then if they change their plea, that then stops the whole system going again. They can never really have closure for a long time."

Laura has been candid in discussing how the documentary has affected her on a personal level, being a mum herself, as she confessed the most challenging aspect was "bringing it home at night", explaining: "Sometimes, when you are constantly looking at the worst corners of society, it's very hard to be hopeful about life."

The celebrity also touched on the surge in TikTok and social media usage, emphasising the importance of parental education to guide her daughter.

Laura continued: "Because at some point you have to let your children grow up, but I think it's really important that you provide them with the tools to help them make the right decisions."

Laura Whitmore on Britain’s Killer Teens, starts Monday 8 September 9pm on Crime+Investigation.
