She went on to share how upset she was by the terrifying ordeal, adding: “I’m in utter shock that someone could do this. I’ve lived in London my whole life and something like this has never happened.
“I would like to think I’m very street wise and always aware of my surroundings. Luckily, I’m not hurt, the big sunglasses I wear actually protected my face in some way.
“It’s just absolutely disgusting that someone can do this in broad daylight and what was even more sad no one around me cared or batted an eye lid that someone just hit me in public.”

The radio presenter reassured fans that she wasn’t injured, and the police are now dealing with the situation. Nikita continued: “The police are dealing with it and taking it very seriously, but I thought it was important to share if you are walking alone or if you travel alone a lot like I do just to be careful.
