Michaela Coel won her first ever Emmy award for her creation of the powerful sexual assault drama 'I May Destroy You'.

Coel delivered a moving acceptance speech after she was recognised for her writing on the limited series.

The show features Coel’s lead character Arabella being assaulted which was based on her own experiences after she was attacked on a night out during filming her sitcom Chewing Gum.

Londoner Coel, 33, used the opportunity to share a message with fellow writers before finishing with a tribute for survivors of assault.

Reading from a piece of paper, she said: “Write the tale that scares you. That makes you feel uncertain. That isn’t comfortable. I dare you.

“In a world that entices us to browse through the lives of others to help us better determine how we feel about ourselves, and to in turn feel the need to be constantly visible – for visibility these days seems to somehow equate to success – do not be afraid to disappear from it, from us, for a while and see what comes to you in the silence.”

Coel was also nominated in the acting categories, added: “I dedicate this story to every single survivor of sexual assault.”
