**WARNING – SPOILERS AHEAD**
What happened in last night’s episode of The Long Call on ITV?

And Rosa herself, with gentle encouragement from Grace, recounted the story of her abduction, telling Matthew Venn and Jen that she had been sexually assaulted at The Woodyard.
She then dropped the bombshell – it was nice-guy Ed who had assaulted her.
