Overview
- In a new interview previewing her book Someone Like Me, Lancaster details multiple assaults she says began around age five and continued into her late teens.
- She recounts an attempted abduction in early childhood and an underpass attack at 12, after which police arrested the wrong man and the assailant was never found.
- Lancaster says a male fashion designer drugged her around age 17 and that she woke disoriented and partially undressed, adding she does not know if she was raped.
- She has not publicly identified the alleged designer and there is no indication of current legal action tied to the historical incidents.
- Lancaster links the trauma to long-term effects such as hyperhidrosis and describes therapeutic techniques she has explored, while coverage also notes the BBC has sacked Greg Wallace after misconduct findings referenced in her comments about Celebrity MasterChef.
