Mother-of-six Madeleine West is aggressively accosted by a stranger at the supermarket who thought she was panic buying during the coronavirus pandemic
She is a mother of six young children, so Madeleine West understandably has a lot of mouths to feed.
But the Neighbours star was left stunned when she was recently accosted by a stranger at the supermarket during the height of the coronavirus panic buying frenzy.
While doing her weekly grocery shop, another customer saw that the 39-year-old actress had a full trolley and mistakenly believed she was hoarding.

‘He delivered a volley of choice expletives and stormed off to the next counter before I could utter: “But I’ve got six kids! This won’t even last the week!” she wrote in a column for Nine Honey.
Madeleine further revealed she is often ‘judged’ by strangers when out with the littlest of her large brood.
‘I’ve grown immune to the death stares regularly thrown my way when my three youngest dare to grasp handrails while manoeuvring down stairs,’ she said.
‘…(it’s) either that or risk them face-planting the concrete,’ she added, explaining she thought hospitals were busy enough without having to deal with ’emergencies resulting from stupidity’.

The Underbelly star admitted she is finding the shops to be quite an emotional place at the moment, and that she ‘cried’ when she found her favourite pasta and peanut butter were back in stock.
Meanwhile, Madeleine has been an advocate for self-care and spreading positivity amid the coronavirus pandemic.
On Thursday, she used her platform in the spotlight to encourage fans to keep a healthy mindset and shared a few tips to fight the ‘iso blues’.

‘Loneliness is not just a feeling, it is a biological warning triggered by your body to seek out others,’ she captioned a post on Instagram.
‘Human connection is critical to survival and for us to thrive,’ Madeline urged her followers.
She went on to write, ‘In a world necessarily outlawing touch, no wonder we are all going a little stir-crazy’.
The Satisfaction star then encouraged her followers to beat isolation blues, by boosting their tryptophan levels.
Tryptophan is an amino acid that can be found in eggs, bananas, yoghurt, quinoa, salmon, potatoes, wholegrain rice and dark chocolate.
