Morven Christie thinks sexual harassment is rife within British television.
The ‘Grantchester’ actress claimed men are "enabled" to abuse their positions with female co-stars and stressed that it is "not OK".
She said: "There has been a lot to put up with in this industry for a long time.
"That whole culture, it is like, ‘Enough, man’.
"In television particularly, things get enabled that are not OK."
The 37-year-old actress went on to tell of a conversation she’d had with a younger female friend whose co-star told her he would "launch [himself]" on her.
Speaking on the ‘Two Shot’ podcast, she said: "I have just had a long conversation with an actress. I have known her for a long time and she is quite a bit younger than me.
"An actor, the most powerful one on a production, on a night out said, ‘By the way, I am gonna launch myself on to you by the end of the night because that is what guys my age do to girls your age’.
"She had to do two emotional scenes with this guy the next day. So she told him, ‘Can we agree you won’t do that?’ "
And the ‘Bay’ actress is now planning to confront the actor about his comments to make him think again about his behaviour.
She said: "My feeling is that I’m going to say something because I don’t feel the environment we work in should support that. It is not a delicate situation. The only delicate thing is this person’s ego. If I can say to this person, ‘I know this happened, this is sexual harassment, do not do this again’. That is what I am going to do
"I will tell him, ‘If this is what you do when you are p***ed, do not go out – the culture is not going to support this any more’."
