EastEnders has responded to BBC viewer complaints over Ben Mitchell’s harrowing rape scenes earlier this month.
The devastating storyline began after Walford troublemaker Ben, played by Max Bowden, exchanged barbs with husband Callum over his vigilante actions against homophobes, creating a rift between the couple.
When he later realised he had made a mistake deciding to go home with online hook-up Lewis Butler, Ben tried to leave.
