Dermot O’Leary has backed The Independent’s campaign to build a safe home for women fleeing domestic abuse.
The TV presenter has joined the likes of Dame Helen Mirren, Rylan Clark, Olivia Colman and Queen Camilla to voice his support for the Brick by Brick appeal, which will build a refuge for victims of domestic abuse.
Mr O’Leary said: “No one should have to live with the threat of domestic abuse. The Brick by Brick appeal will help women and children get away from terrible situations that ruin lives, and will give hope to the millions of people who are faced with domestic abuse every single day.”
