For the first time on camera, spies working for MI5 have spoken to ITV to reveal the reality of the secret work they do to keep the UK safe.

Over three months, ITV News Security Editor Rohit Kachroo was given unprecedented access to MI5 to get an insight into the workings of one of the world’s oldest and most-renowned spy agencies.
Here, Rohit speaks to an ‘agent runner’, an investigator who helped foil a plot to kill Theresa May, and a surveillance officer whose job sees her following ‘subjects of interest’ to some unusual places. And a spy tells Rohit about the perhaps surprising aspects about the social side of working at the Security Service.
