Broadcaster and former tennis star Andrew Castle has revealed that his drink was spiked on a night out in 2003.
The 57-year-old described how a woman 'tried to 'take advantage' or him in a taxi in central London while he was 'beyond function' on his LBC show this morning (Sunday, October 24).

He was discussing the issue of spiking after the The National Police Chiefs' Council said there have been 198 confirmed reports of drink spiking in September and October across various parts of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Castle said: "I've taken a spiked drink. I don't know whether I was the subject of that or whether or not I was sharing a drink with somebody. We had a right old time. There were hens and stags, we had dinner and everyone was dancing.
"There is a blimin' big difference between having your drink spiked and having too much to drink. I was beyond function. This woman got into a cab with me – and everyone's going to say that's your story – well it was not that comfortable.
"A woman got into the cab with me and was saying – let me just say – [things that were] unbelievably inappropriate. I was completely out with the fairies on this one."
The presenter added that he believed the woman wanted to 'take advantage and blackmail' him.
He said he was 'really frightened' and that adrenaline kicked in - despite the effects being so strong that he was in 'agony for a whole day'.
"I got very protective of myself and the situation. I got very tense with the whole thing even though I was off my rocker," he said.
