Those who watch ITV鈥檚 Coronation Street and have seen the episodes in early May 2018 are likely to be aware of the harrowing storyline of Aidan Connor鈥檚 suicide, with subsequent episodes dealing with the impact on those left behind.

Shayne Ward, who plays the character of Aidan, was keen to reach out to other people who might be feeling desperate.

He tweeted: "If you feel like you are alone, YOU ARE NOT!" he wrote. "If you feel lost, YOU ARE NOT! If you feel unloved, YOU ARE NOT! If you feel powerless, YOU ARE NOT! Help is ALWAYS there. Talking about your feelings CAN and WILL save lives."
