She said: “The worst one I’ve never ever ever opened up about and don’t think even think I’m ready yet. It was one of the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me.

“I had an incident with a taxi driver a long time ago in Ireland.

“Silly me, I fell asleep. My friends were dropped off before me and I was dropped off alone because I lived alone at the time.

“I woke up and his hand was right up my skirt.

“Honestly, I sobered up so quickly. I mesmerised his taxi number so quick and still remembered it the next day.”
