Presenter Ranvir Singh has revealed a traumatic drink-spiking episode from years ago, describing how she lost hearing and mobility with no memory of getting home
During Tuesday’s episode of Good Morning Britain, Ranvir Singh courageously opened up about a chilling experience she endured years ago – a drink spiking incident that left her physically and mentally incapacitated, with no recollection of how she got home.
The 47-year-old shared her story while the show’s hosts, Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, interviewed spiking survivor Rachel Ovens and campaigner Ashley James about the alarming rise in such attacks. Inspired by Rachel’s courage, Ranvir recounted her own frightening ordeal that unfolded while she was working in Manchester over a decade ago.
She recalled the evening vividly: “It was about 7:30pm, my very first drink. I had arrived early – I think it was for a work event, though I honestly can’t remember exactly why I was there. ”
Sitting alone at the bar, she ordered a glass of wine, sipping half or three-quarters of it before deciding to quickly go to the bathroom. “The loos were down the stairs,” she explained, “but even before I got there, everything started to swim. ”
Ranvir’s voice grew quieter as she described the terrifying loss of control: “My legs just gave way beneath me, and I found myself going downstairs. ”
By the time she returned to the main floor, she was disoriented and alarmed, unable to hear properly. “I couldn’t hear anything at all,” she said. “I looked down at the bar and thought, ‘I can’t go back down there,’ so I just left. ”
What happened next is a blank spot in her memory. “I can’t remember that evening. I can’t even recall getting home,” she admitted, her tone heavy with the weight of the unknown.
Susanna, visibly concerned, asked if Ranvir had reported the incident at the time. “I didn’t,” Ranvir replied. “This was around 12 or 13 years ago. Back then, it didn’t even occur to me to report it. ”
Highlighting how widespread this issue is, Ranvir shared a startling moment: “Just now, while we were talking about it, my female producer – who’s right there in the gallery said it happened to her too. ” She shook her head, amazed and saddened by the frequency of such attacks. “It’s incredible how common it really is. ”
Prevalence of spiking is continuing to grow, with 11% of UK adults report being spiked at any point in their lives. 9% of males report thinking they have ever been a victim of drink spiking and 13% of females.
