Nikita Kanda was left in “utter shock” after being hit in the face by an unknown person.
The 28 year old was seemingly targeted in a random attack while travelling in London and she has contacted the police following the incident.
The radio DJ, who works on BBC’s Asian Network starred in last year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing and was partnered with Gorka Marquez on the show.
Taking to her Instagram stories on Thursday night, she told her 36,800 followers: “Today something really scary happened and I feel the need to share it.
“After finishing my show today I was walking underground at Oxford Circus station minding my own business looking at my phone and a random guy decided to hit me in the face for no reason at all and laughed about it.
“I’m in utter shock that someone could do this. I’ve lived in London my whole life and something like this has never happened.”
She continued: “I would like to think I’m very street wise and always aware of my surroundings. Luckily, I’m not hurt, the big sunglasses I wear actually protected my face in some way.
“It’s just absolutely disgusting that someone can do this in broad daylight and what was even more sad no one around me cared or batted an eye lid that someone just hit me in public.
“The police are dealing with it and taking it very seriously but I thought it was important to share if you are walking alone or if you travel alone a lot like I do just to be careful.
“There are some very nasty people out there and this has just opened my eyes and shook me up tbh. What kind of world do we live in.”
Nikita rose to prominence in July 2022 when she temporarily presented the Asian Network Breakfast Show, before being appointed the permanent host in January 2023.
The radio personality took part in Strictly last year but only made it through to the second week before she was eliminated from the competition where she came up against Love Island star Zara McDermott and Graziano Di Prima in the dance-off.
