Alison Hammond has opened up about believing she was "going to die" while being followed on the streets.
The 46-year-old spoke about her own experience as co-star Dermot O'Leary called on men to "do more" to make women feel safe on the streets amid the tragic case of Sarah Everard.
Officers searching for Sarah, 33, discovered human remains on Wednesday and serving cop Wayne Couzens, 48, has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Sarah, a marketing manager and Durham University graduate, went missing after visiting a friend's house in Clapham, south London on March 3.
As more harrowing details emerge, women have shared the experiences of being followed while walking alone on the streets at night and the terror they have felt following the suspected murder of Sarah.
Addressing the subject, Dermot asked Alison: "You would like to think that men of a certain age and a certain responsibility don't need to be educated, but, so where does it start?"
Alison, whose son Aiden is 16, replied: ""I think it starts when your child is quite young to be honest.
"I will always say [to Aiden], 'Walk a girl home when you can.', if you do see someone in front of you, a lady in front of you, maybe just cross over the road."
She added: "I felt that adrenaline rush when you think you're being followed, when I've walked across the road and somebody's followed me across the road, I've got a little bit faster and that person has got faster - and I'm telling you, you think you're going to die."
Dermot said: "Me and my friends have talked about this - when you are on a street and you are walking home and a woman's walking the street - you cross the road. You get into the light, you make sure you are not a threat.
"You do anything it takes to make sure you're not a threat."
