Kerry-Ann Knight , 33 , took her case to an employment tribunal and accepted a substantial settlement from the Ministry of Defence last month .

She says when her complaints weren’t taken seriously she began secretly recording conversations - including one where laughter could be heard after a white male soldier said “just [expletive] tar and feather her, it’s what they used to do in the old days’.

Former soldier Kerry-Ann Knight says she wanted to help the Army change.

She says she was selected to front recruitment campaigns for women and ethnic minorities.

But when the 2019 campaign went public, there was a backlash against her.

British soldiers accused her of “playing the race card” and of being a tick in the diversity box’.
