Sensing something was wrong she decided to call her sister to come and pick her up and walked back to the station where she spoke to TFL staff.
She penned on social media while sharing pictures form the event: ‘After such a wonderful night, I thought I’d be economical and get the tube home, a route I do many times.
‘Unfortunately last night I was followed by a really strange man. 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.
