Actor reveals childhood abuse in one-woman show
A former soap star has performed a one-woman show revealing she was sexually abused as a child.
Melanie Ash says she hopes the play, called The Secret, will encourage parents to talk to their children about body empowerment.
"I just hope my connection to the TV shows I was in will spark enough interest for people to go, 'Oh, that's that girl off such-and-such a thing...'
"We can't stop paedophiles," she said. "What we can do is empower our children and give them a voice."
