hen she was writing the second series of Chewing Gum, Michaela Coel took a break from work and went out for a drink with a friend.
The next morning, she woke up and started having flashbacks. Michaela realised her drink had been spiked and she'd been sexually assaulted.
This real-life experience became the basis for her new BBC One show, I May Destroy You, which she wrote, co-directed and stars in.
"It took me two and a half years all in all to write it and I didn't do any other job," she tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.
"It's been quite hard but cathartic because I'm reflecting on a dark time rather than feeling it is happening to me right now."
