A new series about domestic abuse will be hitting screens on Sunday. The drama explores the issue of domestic abuse from the perspective of a woman with a seemingly perfect life, however behind the scenes her life is far from perfect.

Bob the Builder

Talking about her new drama, Angela Black, Froggatt tells PA’s Georgia Humphreys about her character and her experiences: “She really does go on a huge journey that breaks her world apart and breaks her sense of self apart.

“Everything that she believes her life to be changes, and she almost has to fall apart to rebuild herself back to where she’s supposed to be.”

She goes on to express the importance of the storyline, and its realities outside of a tv show.

“It could be happening in the house next door, or possibly, in your own house”, Froggatt urges.

Angela Black airs on ITV from Sunday October 10 at 9pm.
