However, after ITV pulled the show, Catherine has remained silent on the subject.
Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.

Posting a quote from the late American poet and activist Maya Angelou, it said: “Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.”

Catherine was one of several female members of the cast who starred with Clarke in Viewpoint.

She said on Instagram: “I see you. I hear you. I believe you.
“Thank you to the women for your incredible bravery in coming forward and helping to put a stop to this kind of behaviour in our industry.
“If I could stop working with sexual predatorsā¦ that would be great.
“Sending a big hug to all cast and crew who worked so very hard on Viewpoint.”
