Sky News has spoken to more than 50 people who say they have witnessed or been on the receiving end of sexual misconduct and harassment within leading drama schools across the UK.

Students have described their training as being "indoctrinated into this cult-like bubble, and the expectation was to say yes to everything".

They only agreed to speak anonymously, fearing the impact it could have on their future careers.

Anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal can call Samaritans for help on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org in the UK. In the US, call the Samaritans branch in your area or 1 (800) 273-TALK.
