The actor visited Newtown's Montgomeryshire Family Crisis Centre last year to meet with male victims of domestic abuse and learn more about their experiences.

Gary Stephens, Refuge Team Lead for Montgomeryshire Family Crisis Centre, stated that Danny spent the day at their male refuge, listening to the stories of male victims and the challenges they face in seeking help and support.

The documentary, set to air on Tuesday, 16 April and Wednesday, 17 at 10pm, aims to raise awareness of the services available for men and their children who are affected by domestic abuse.

"The documentary will highlight the struggles that male victims of domestic abuse face and encourage them to seek help and support," said Gary Stephens. "We hope that those watching the programme will realize they are not alone and find the strength to reach out for assistance."

The programme, which explores masculinity, mental health, and male identity in modern Britain, features interviews with men from various backgrounds, including those who have been victims of domestic violence.
