EXC: Scarlett Moffatt ‘PLEASED’ stalker tried to kidnap her as it was reminder to be mindful online

Scarlett Moffatt has revealed she is ‘glad’ that a stalker recently tried to kidnap her at a train station because it reminded her to be “aware” of what she posts online.

Last month, the presenter, 31, broke down in tears as she recounted the terrifying experience in an Instagram video, which left her deeply shaken.

Now, in an exclusive interview with MailOnline, she has discussed the terrifying ordeal in more detail, while reminding fans that their social media activity is being watched in “real time.”

She said: “I think the reason I posted that is because I think sometimes we forget that when we’re posting in real time, that’s real life and I normally never do that.

“When I go out to dinner, I post a picture of my food as soon as I get home, when I didn’t that day. I actually posted in real time.

“In a way, I’m glad it happened because it reminded us how important it is to be aware of what you’re posting on social media.

“I got a lot of messages after that from people saying, ‘Oh my word, we post as a family when we’re out of the house, forgetting that people know the house is empty.’

“I’m just reminding people to be careful what they post because social media is a really fun place and it should be and we should be able to share experiences and all those things, but yeah, we just need to really to be careful.’

The 2016 I’m A Celebrity winner praised the London North Eastern Railway staff for looking after her during a vulnerable moment.

“And now, when I get on the train, I always ask how they’re doing, because they’re little legends.

“But thanks to them it was all right, so I’m really glad they were there. They were just little diamonds, they took me all the way to my hotel.

“They said, ‘We’re not doing this just because you’re off the TV,’ and I said, ‘I know!’ because I’ve seen them do things for a lot of people at the train stations, so I think that’s why it’s important that they’re there.’

The TV star recalled the terrible story last month in a clip shared with her Story.

“First off, I’d like to say a huge thank you to Neil and Danny who work for LNER as it’s not in your job description to take me all the way to my hotel and I really appreciate that.”

She fought back tears and continued, “I’m going to tag LNER so they can see this because honestly I don’t know what I would have done without you.

Troubled: She was left deeply shaken after the incident, in which a man stalked her social media to track her down

“I’m doing this so people realize how important it is to use social media and not always post where you are.

‘I posted stupidly naively on Instagram saying ‘Off to London by train’ and when I got to King’s Cross station there was a man there – oh sorry, hold on [crying].

“Sorry, I composed myself. I think because Danny and Neil were there, I stayed calm.

“But this man came up to me and said, ‘Scarlett, I’ve been waiting for you. You’re coming home with me.’ And then I said, “Oh no, thank you” and walked away.

“And then he followed me and said, ‘Scarlett, Scarlett, you’re going home with me. I’m taking you home.’

“And luckily the guard saw us, because it was just outside King’s Cross station, and then he said, ‘Come here! Oh, Scarlett, hiya!” pretended to be with them, then walked with me to my hotel.’

Reflecting on her ordeal, an emotional Scarlett added, “I think it just struck us how actually scary that was.

“But I want to tell you, don’t post” [where you are]You don’t know who’s watching your stories. But I want to post a picture of Danny and Neil, the absolute legends that they are.
