To our knowledge, the assault was an event without precedent in the UK television industry. Whilst we believed throughout that we were doing our best to support Lucy in the aftermath of the ordeal, as Lucy thinks we could have done more, we must therefore recognise this. Speaking about her experience on the show to the BBC, Spraggan explained that from the beginning she felt like she was made into a "caricature" of herself, that it was "almost like there's a storyline written for you", with it constantly reiterated to her it was a huge opportunity.
