Former Coronation Street star Katherine Kelly has said it is ‘none of my business’ what the audience reaction is to the new Peter Sutcliffe drama she appears in.

Read more: ITV explain why they changed the controversial title of new Peter Sutcliffe drama series Katherine portrays one of the victims, Emily Jackson, in The Long Shadow. Emily Jackson was a part-time sex worker who died at the hands of Sutcliffe in 1976 on January 20. She was 42 when she died and was Sutcliffe’s second victim.

“The same with Lewis , I believe in that and the four years of research done and that's where my trust lies. I know that is all we can do. I feel that it has been made with nuisance and authenticity. That's where the job ends for me. Katherine said: “The responsibility when you are playing somebody, I’m wary of using the word character, as she existed, and the responsibility is not something I take lightly. I know nobody takes this lightly.

“If I was focusing on her, or her family, watching the show, I just had to try to come back to honouring the truth. As I think that’s what she'd want.”
