She had driven into a CitiPark car park on Clements Road on February 16 at 11.50pm when she had to walk through a dark 15-20 metre path to reach the well-lit main road.

The brave Channel 5 star, who has also appeared on the BBC's Eating With My Ex and MTV's Fired By Mum & Dad, reveals how she "was so close to being raped or murdered” as a man approached her in the darkness.

Jodie, who lives in Canary Wharf, East London, told the Sun Online: “As a woman you always walk quicker when walking through badly-lit areas.

“I clocked this guy about 8-10 metres behind me over my left shoulder and started walking faster. He must be quite psychically fit as he caught up with me in a couple of seconds.”

I just thought, this guy is a total creep, he's either going to rob me or rape me. I was frozen with fear

She then describes how the man, dressed in all black tracksuit and hoodie, stepped in front of her, blocking her way and asked where she was going in a "soft voice".

Jodie adds: "A sense of fear came over me."

"He reached down and grabbed my bum really hard, like it actually really hurt. Then my hip, thigh and all of my left side.

"It felt like a power play, like he was saying 'I'm in control'.

"He started reaching around in the pocket of his black hoodie.

"I didn't know what he was reaching for but I could tell he was loving it, seeing my panic.

"Time went so slowly and I had a million thoughts running through my head.

"I just thought, this guy is a total creep, he's either going to rob me or rape me. I was frozen with fear."

I started screaming as loud as I possibly could

The creep then grabbed Jodie's face and bit her, causing her to scream out "as loud as she could".

She added: "He literally started biting into my left jawline. I started screaming as loud as I possibly could. It was like a blood-curdling scream right into his eardrum.

"It must have spooked him as he sprinted off back towards the car park.

"Whatever was in his pocket was the next step."

The DJ doesn't believe it was a targeted attack against her, but a perverted man who was waiting in the darkness for any woman.

But she says she's "one million per cent sure" the attack was sexually motivated, as she held her phone visibly in her hand the entire time.

She said: "I was holding my phone in my hand if he had wanted to rob me he could have. That's scariest part. I'm a million per cent sure he wanted to rape me."

The attack has had a lasting effect on Jodie who now avoids people in the street and has suffered from anxiety attacks and sleep loss.

But she is now trying to find her attacker, and police are appealing for witnesses who might have information.

There is a £5,000 reward for anyone who finds the attacker, who she says is 5ft9 and Asian.

A Met Police spokesman confirmed: "It is believed a woman in her 20s was walking away from the car park down an alleyway when she was followed by a man who asked her where she was going.

“He then sexually assaulted her and bit her on the face before fleeing the scene.

“Investigations continue and no arrests have been made.”

Anyone with information should call police on 101 quoting reference 186/17Feb or Jodie on [email protected]
