Welsh woman who fell on Tube track saved with seconds to spare

A Welsh woman has been reunited with the stranger who saved her life when she fell on a London Underground track. Tegan Badham from Cwmbran had just seconds to spare as she was pulled to safety by Anthony Smith on the platform at King's Cross.

The pair appear on Reunion Hotel, a BBC Two series which gives people a chance to reunite with someone pivotal from their past. Before being brought together at Iscoyd Park, a luxurious hotel near Wrexham, Tegan had not had the chance to thank the 31-year-old hotel developer.

The near-miss came last year when Tegan, a 22-year-old beautician, visited London with friends. She told presenter Alex Jones: "I was trying to go to the Wireless Festival to see Nicki Minaj and I was waiting for the train. Silly me, I stumbled and I kept stumbling and stumbling. Then I was on the tracks. When I got up there was a bar so I got my hands on it as I was trying to push myself up. But as I do that the electricity goes through me. It was like when you've got cramp in your leg and it really hurts. Imagine that in your whole body. And because it's so strong you can't take your hands off it. The current just kept going through me.
