Debbie has made an appeal on Instagram while recalling a terrifying experience when a man tried to force her into a car while she was walking home from a nightclub in 1987.

And she shared a photo of herself on Dialstone Lane, Offerton, in the very same spot where her ordeal took place.

The psychic medium says the man pushed her into the passenger seat of the vehicle and she remembers seeing a rope in the footwell.

Thankfully a group of young men in a passing car realised something was wrong and stopped to help, and the man released Debbie before driving off.

Appealing on her Instagram, Debbie said she decided to speak out after her memory was triggered by coverage about women feelng unsafe walking alone at night.

"It triggered a memory for me that still gives me nightmares," she said.

"This isn’t the usual glam looking post that most of you see on socials, this is me standing in the very same spot that a man tried to take me from in 1987 and force me into his car.

"This is Dialstone Lane, Offerton, Stockport."

She recalled: "I was walking home alone around 1am from a local nightclub called Hamiltons. A car slowly drove up next to me, a man got out and what happened next was your worst nightmare.

"I fought with him as he pushed me head first into the passenger seat, I remember a rope in the footwell.

"Thankfully a group of lads were in a car about to drive past and they realised something was very wrong, they did a U-turn and as they pulled up behind the car the man let go of me and drove off with the passenger door still open."

Debbie says she'd like to find the men who came to her aid to thank them.

She continued: "After all these years I’d like to find them and say thank you.

"At best I would have been raped I think, at worst I would have been murdered. Whoever you are you saved my life because I would never have fully recovered either way."

Debbie asked her followers: "Please share this to your stories I’m sure they’ve never forgotten what they saw that night."

The reality star joined the the ITVBe reality show Real Housewives in the 13th series last year.

She runs a psychic medium firm from her home in Wilmslow and previously appeared on Sky TV show Unexplained: Caught on Camera investigating the spirit world.
