There are calls for pubs and bars in Manchester to introduce a code word to keep people safe when they're on dates.

It's after a number of men and women were attacked by people they've met on dating websites - like Tindr and Grindr.

A scheme called 'Ask for Angela' is already proving a success in other areas across the country.

People can simply ask for Angela in a bar or club if they feel uncomfortable and it will alert staff they need some help.
