Presenter Laura Jackson has revealed she was followed home by a stranger following the Glamour Women Of The Year awards.
The 36-year-old was among the attendees at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards at The Outernet venue in London on Tuesday night (November 8), where famous names such as Rita Ora and Cynthia Erivo were honoured.
The following morning she took to Instagram to post about the terrifying ordeal getting home after the event.
Sharing photos from the night, she said that after having ‘such a wonderful night’, she decided to take the Tube home.
However, her journey on the familiar route quickly took a sour turn.
‘Unfortunately last night I was followed by a really strange man,’ she shared.

‘That feeling when someone’s watching you on the train, gets off at your stop, walks closely next to you, and waits for you to walk ahead to follow you.’
Thinking on her feet after ‘sensing that something was off’, she decided to call her sister and walk back to the station after feeling ‘so sure something would have happened’.
Jackson said a Transport for London worker had offered to walk her home before her sister came to pick her up.
‘I [was] spooked by my own shadow in my own home all night – something I’ve never experienced,’ she continued.
‘It’s absolute BULLS**T now it’s winter we don’t feel safe to walk home at night. I honestly believe my morning would have been different had I not headed back to the station.’

She later posted on her Instagram Stories thanking the people who had messaged her.
‘So many messages from (mainly) women telling me they don’t feel safe walking around in winter,’ she said.
‘It’s absolutely bulls**t that now after 4/5pm we potentially have to put an end to anything social.’
She ended by sending love to all those who had messaged her about their encounters.
