Former Spice Girls singer Mel B said Happy Valley's domestic abuse storyline resonated with her and "means so much".
The 47-year-old has been relentlessly campaigning for better support for victims of domestic abuse and became a patron of charity Women's Aid in 2018. Last year, she was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to domestic violence victims at Buckingham Palace.
Her desire to help and to push for meaningful law changes stems from the physical and emotional abuse she said she suffered at the hands of her ex husband Stephen Belafonte. The Leeds-born star opened up about her 10-year marriage to the film producer in her 2018 memoir Brutally Honest.
