This Morning viewers have praised Coronation Street star Ryan Prescott after the shocking acid attack storyline on the ITV soap.
Viewers were left in tears after yesterday's episode (Monday March 27) which saw Ryan Connor, who had been due to start afresh in Ibiza, take the full force of a glass of acid intended for bride Daisy Midgeley. Actor Ryan joined Holly Willoughby and Alison Hammond on the This Morning sofa on Tuesday (March 28) to discuss how the scenes were shot.
"No matter how much research you do, I don't think you can ever really comprehend this level of extreme violence... unless you've been through it," Ryan told Holly and Alison. He added that he undertook a lot of reading and research for the scene.

He continued: "I met with some people from the Katie Piper Foundation, a gentleman called Andreas Christopheros, who I think has been on the show [This Morning] before". He said that hearing from Andreas really helped him to further understand the soap storyline.
Ryan also revealed that Princess Anne visited the set, adding she was 'extremely well versed in all things Coronation Street." He said: "I think a few of us at the studio are hoping she's a bit of a fan! Not saying she is, but it would be nice".
Holly said that Princess Anne is a patron of the Acid Survivors' Trust, so it is a subject 'very close to her heart.' Ryan added: "Yeah definitely, she's a patron of, I think, a hundred charities as well, she never stops. But it was really lovely to have her in the studio. We felt very privileged. We had a lovely day. She kind of came into the Rover's and we talked through the scene."
