Privacy NoticeLoose Women’s Judi Love has bravely recounted a terrifying encounter during a recent episode of the ITV daytime show. Revealing her ordeal, Judi recounted how she was walking alone on a dark road when an unknown man “grabbed” her, leaving her in utter fear for her life. Her fellow panellists Charlene White, Nadia Sawalha and Linda Robson were all there to offer their unwavering support. Opening up about the incident, Judi said: “As a social worker, I wouldn’t even want to dare touch on in the home or in small communities about people being afraid to speak up. This is a conversation you have to have with your daughters and sons.” “I’ve had situations as a comedian, travelling home late at night. I was in a particular area at night and I just felt something..” “That gave me an extra 20 seconds because as I turned down the road, a guy grabbed me and I just, in that moment, I turned into, ‘This is a fight, this is just what I’ve got to do’. I looked him in the eye and said, ‘If this is what you wanna do, just know what you’re doing’.”

She added: “We have to go into that survival [mode]… I’m a woman at 40 – what about an 11-year-old?” Back in 2021, Judi referenced the same incident, explaining: “As a grown woman, I do comedy and there are times I travel quite late by myself in my area, and there was one particular night, the guy was on the other side of the road, I was on the main high road.
The Loose Women panellists were quick to sympathise
“And I saw him pull his cap down and run towards me, and in that 30 seconds, my car was round the corner, and I was like, ‘Should I run to my car? But I thought if I run to my car I am in a dark space, so I just stood and took him straight on, he grabbed my hand and I thought, ‘He is gonna mug me.’ “So I just started to have a conversation [with him], ‘Is this what you wanna do? Is this what you wanna do? Take what you are going to take.'”
Judi never goes out walking late alone
Thankfully the incident ended without anyone getting hurt, as Judi said: “He just looked me in my eye, I don’t know what it was, and he just threw my hand down and walked off, it wasn’t until afterwards I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, that really happened.'” She now refuses to go walking late at night and always texts someone about where she’s going, admitting: “Thinking about it makes me a bit shaky.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
