Producer Kate Oates was recently forced to defend the decision to include the story, saying that it was an issue that was often overlooked when speaking about assault.
Similarly, Duncan Craig, who set up the charity that has been supporting Corrie in the story's development, told ITV News:
"When I found out the actual statistic and how many more men - in response to what happened on Coronation Street - had picked up the phone and asked for help...
