Survivors with Denise Welch - Season 1

Victims of horrific crimes bare all to Denise Welch, beginning with Kayleigh White, who recounts the vicious, unprovoked knife attack that changed her life at the age of 17. She had just a one per cent chance of survival at the time.

Bethany Marchant tells Denise Welch about the night in 2019 when her then-partner Stefan Carr subjected her to a violent torture attack, which involved holding a pillowcase over her face, threatening her with a knife and hanging her by the neck for three minutes.

Sammy Woodhouse tells the story of how she was groomed at the age of 14 alongside nine other women, before being subjected to horrendous violence and sexual abuse.

Denise talks to lorry driver Tony Hannington, who married his wife Tracy in June 2013, six months after meeting her on a dating site. At first the relationship was good, but less than a year into the marriage Tracy started to abuse him, beginning verbally and gradually becoming more physical - driving him to the brink of suicide.

Denise talks to Adele Bellis, who was left with permanent scarring, partially bald and without an ear after an acid attack orchestrated by her abusive ex-boyfriend.

Denise talks to Christopher Spry, who was one of several children who suffered untold physical and mental abuse at the hands of their foster mother Eunice Spry.
