A Love Island star has revealed she was forced to run screaming after being followed by a man in a terrifying ordeal.

Patsy Field took to social media to detail the horrifying incident with fans as she admitted she no longer felt safe in her local area.

The former islander, 30, who took part in last year’s summer edition of the ITV dating show, told fans how she went on a walk in Bromley shortly after 8pm.

In a video, she explained how she had headed out in a bid to walk off ‘being full of steak’ after a family dinner at Miller and Carter.

She said: ‘I’d got an outfit on which could be a bit revealing but like I said, I’d never had any issues before.

Love Island star Patsy Field has revealed she was forced to run screaming after being followed by a man in a terrifying ordeal 

The former islander, 30, who took part in last year’s summer edition of the ITV dating show, told fans how she went on a walk in Bromley shortly after 8pm

‘I’ve always felt safe where I’m from.’

Patsy told how her mother always discourages her from walking by herself at night because the area she’s from gets ‘a bed rep’.

About 10 minutes into her stroll, Patsy realised there was a man walking close by her and she crossed the road.

She said: ‘I give it a couple of steps on the other side of the road and I thought, I’ll just check and I turn around and he’s crossed the road.’

Unsettled, Patsy said she remained open-minded because there were parked cars on that side of the road.

However, in disbelief, the man once again crossed the road after she had moved back.

Thinking on her feet while panicking, Patsy stopped walking and looked down at her phone, with the man walking on past her.

She continued: ‘I can see the end of the road so he carries on walking, there’s a zebra crossing right at the end of the road.

Patsy told fans how she screamed for help before running off and ringing her mother to come and collect her

‘He crosses the zebra crossing and he’s about to be out of my sight, but then just as he’s about to go out of sight, like away, he stops and turns back around and he just starts walking back towards me.

‘I’m like what the f**k is going on.’

As the man made contact with Patsy, she was left unnerved and began screaming for help and ran in the opposite direction.

The reality star rang her mother who was able to come and pick her up.

‘Now I’m scared to walk around my own area which is a shame as I’ve never had an issue before,’ she admitted.

While on Love Island, Patsy revealed she was born with Erb palsy, a disability that affects the muscle function in her right arm and also means it is shorter in length.

She told how she should have been born via cesarean, but doctors made the crucial error for her to be delivered naturally, resulting in the defect, which she has had to overcome her entire life.
