Her father normally filters out the vile messages she receives online but showed her the chilling video on the programme.
In response to the video, Iskra said: 'I was shocked. I'm not surprised why my dad didn't show me because that could be... very intimating.
'And you don't feel safe because there's no way to stop it or prevent it. My dad's tried. He's gone out of his way to try and report and stop it but it's still there.'

Iskra, who has 2.5 million followers on Instagram, made her debut catwalk appearance at New York Fashion Week earlier this month.
She was scouted when she was just 13 after entering an ELLE girl search but dumped by an agency at the age of 15 because her 'hips were too big'.
Iskra has spoken out against internet trolls and body shaming in the past, launching a #heartnothate campaign earlier this year.

Speaking about the campaign, she told FEMAIL: 'Instagram has changed my life both personally and professionally.
'It is has given me a platform to help young women and men who struggle with body-image and self-esteem, which were issues that I dealt with growing up.
'For so long, we’ve only seen one standard of beauty in the media, which has caused so many people, including myself, to feel unworthy and think that their bodies are not good enough.
'I’ve made it my mission to use the platform I have as a model and on Instagram to show people that this standard doesn't exist.'
Inside Out West Midlands will air on BBC One on September 26 at 7.30pm and will also be available on iPlayer for 30 days after.
