"Those of you that have seen ep12, hope you likes it, please don't give it away for others. It's our strongest yet!!" he wrote ahead of the UK Amazon Prime Video air date on Monday 11th May.

"It tackles some tough issues and it may be triggering. Please, if you need to talk, know there are resources available."
