Emma Louise Jones, a BBC broadcaster, has revealed her frightening encounters with a strange guy while out walking her dogs.
The 33-year-old sports broadcaster posted her incident on Twitter, urging passersby to ‘not just ignore and go past’ mistreated women.
Emma claimed that she has been’repeatedly stopped’ by an unidentified man who ‘tells me he wants to snap photographs of me (along with other items I won’t describe here) for the past several days.
‘This makes women/girls feel uncomfortable, and I would advise anyone who observes what appears to be an awkward interaction to not just ignore it and move through,’ she said.
‘You don’t always have to intervene, but even just having the presence of someone else nearby can be reassuring.’
The MOTDx and Viaplay Sports host previously stated that a catfish had been exploiting her images to attract singletons on dating websites.

Emma was sent screenshots of fake accounts that were reportedly using her photos on a website called Uberf***y, for ‘users to meet local singles’.
Her photos were also utilised in a bogus Tinder profile.
Emma received vicious criticism from trolls in September after sharing a photo of herself in a beautiful, full-length gown while standing on a rugby pitch in high heels.
Sees what looks like an uncomfortable interaction to not just ignore it and walk past.
You don’t always have to intervene, but even just having the presence of someone else nearby can be reassuring. (2/2)

She wrote on Twitter: ‘Thank you to the overwhelming majority of you who have called out the few misogynists & dinosaurs in the replies to this. Unfortunately it’s usually those people who shout the loudest,’ she said at the time.
‘I was hosting an awards ceremony & I felt lovely in my new dress, so I wanted to share it.’
Fellow sports presenter Laura Woods responded: ‘What some people don’t get is…you’re allowed to be both! You’re smart and you’re beautiful. One shouldn’t and doesn’t cancel out the other.
‘I absolutely love seeing other people’s glams, women AND men. And if you stopped posting them I’d be pretty disappointed tbh.’
