Loose Women's Janet Street-Porter tells fans 'I'm ok' as they rush to support after scary abuse incident

Janet Street-Porter has told fans that she is 'ok' after telling them about a scary incident where she was hurled with abuse while out on a walk. The Loose Women star shared what happened on Twitter and was quickly inundated with messages from her concerned fans and followers.

"I went for a quiet walk by the sea in Kent this afternoon," Janet started her social media post on Thursday evening (June 19). "A car suddenly drove up behind me, the man behind the wheel screamed I HATE YOU, WE ALL HATE YOU, YOU ARE STUPID and when I tried walk away he turned round and spat out YOU WILL GO DOWN."

Fans were quick to tell Janet that what had happened was 'awful' and that they were 'so sorry' that it happened before she returned with an update.
