Paloma Faith has bravely opened up about a terrifying incident where she had to hit a man with a suitcase to prevent him from assaulting her.The 42 year old singer, who was just starting out in her career and performing small gigs at the time, shared that she was trying to call her mum from a phone box when a man forced himself into the booth with her.
In her new book, 'MILF: Motherhood, Identity, Love and F******', she recalls: "One day, in my early twenties, I was coming back late at night from a cabaret job I was doing. "I went into a phone box, very retro, to call my mother, who was always worrying about my safety, and a man kicked the door of the phone box in so I would be trapped and tried to get in it with me.
He was gripping my chest and groin and telling me to shhh but luckily I had my wits about me, as well as a small wheelie suitcase.
