Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt 'pleased' about stalker kidnap attempt because it was a wake up call

Former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt has explained that she was 'pleased' she was nearly kidnapped by a stalker last month, because it was a stark reminder to be be careful of what she shared online.

According to an article in the MirrorOnline, the 31-year-old presenter was approached by a man as she arrived at King Cross station, London, in September, who said: "Scarlett, I’ve been waiting for you. You’re coming home with me."

Speaking about the ordeal, she described the kidnap attempt as "scary" but a wake-up call. "I'm, in a way, pleased that it happened because it reminded us of how important it is to be mindful of what you're posting on social media", she told MailOnline.
