Former Love Island contestant and campaigner Sharon Gaffka shares her experience of being spiked on a new podcast investigating the growth of the crime.

The 26-year-old civil servant from Didcot has advocated for education around drink spiking after she became a victim.

She has endorsed the Stamp Out Spiking campaign after she was found unconscious in a toilet cubicle in 2020.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain, the reality TV contestant, said she was “cast as being too drunk” as opposed to having been spiked.

She said: “I had had a couple of drinks celebrating a friend’s birthday and the next thing that happened to me was that I was found passed out in a ladies toilet cubicle.

“I didn’t really comprehend it until maybe a day after because I have no recollection of anything apart from being there one minute and waking up in A&E the next."

Pricks is a five-part podcast series created by Leeds-based factual production company What's The Story Sounds.

Hosted by campaigner Mair Howells, it also features ITV's This Morning agony aunt Emma Kenny and leading criminal barrister Charlotte Proudman. 

According to The Alcohol Turst, one in 10 young people have been spiked.

This five-part podcast series will be available from March 11 on platforms including Apple, Amazon and Spotify.
