Miss Bower found that the teenager had to scrub the floor until 1.30am.

Speaking to the Sun, Mr Peat said: "I've kept every scrap of evidence and document concerning Amber and I intend setting the record straight by getting my side of the story out, presenting it myself, which I was not able to do despite giving evidence at the inquest.

"Because of what people have made up, the finger has always been pointed at me as the evil stepdad who virtually marched Amber out of the house and let her die.

"It's disgusting the way I have been portrayed in all this."
