Love Island contestant Sharon Gaffka leads anti drink-spiking campaign

A former Love Island contestant is leading a campaign to boost awareness of the dangers of drink spiking after she was a victim herself.

Sharon Gaffka, from Didcot, Oxfordshire, appeared on the ITV show in 2021 and has been supported in her campaign by Wantage MP David Johnston.

Ms Gaffka has received 1,500 messages of support, including from police officers, and a 14-year-old victim.

She said she had also been trolled online with "sexually explicit slurs".

During a lunch in July 2020, Ms Gaffka said her friends found her unconscious in a toilet cubicle shortly after she was spiked.
