She wrote: “This vile excuse of a man just had his penis pushed up against me while on the overground train from London Bridge heading to Elmstead Woods.
“I though[t] it was a bag until I felt him heavy breathing down my neck. I am appalled and calling the Transport Police when I get off!”
In a separate tweet, Natasha added: “Honestly I am shaking a feel so violated now! But more than anything I am so angry!!
“I had the opportunity to take his picture before he left the train – this has to stop happening to people!”
The British Transport Police later replied to Natasha’s tweet, providing their contact details for her to report the incident.
They said in a statement to ED!: “British Transport Police are aware of a report on social media of a sexual assault on a train to Bromley yesterday (10/10/18).
“Officers are making enquiries into this incident – which is believed to have occurred on a Southeastern train to Elmstead Woods – as part of an investigation.
“We take every report of unwanted sexual behaviour with the utmost of seriousness – and through our Report It To Stop It campaign we are encouraging victims to come forward to tell us what happened. You can do this by using our simple and discreet 61016 text service or by calling us on 0800 40 50 40.
“Thankfully, the rail network is a CCTV rich environment and we use every opportunity to use this crucial evidence to help prosecute suspects. We also work tirelessly to combat sexual offences by running covert patrols across the rail network with plain clothed officers.”
ED! has contacted Natasha’s rep for further comment.
Natasha, who has four children, often shares her thoughts on social media and recently wrote a blog post about how she struggled with postnatal depression and feeling isolated as a new mum.
She shares son Josh, 16, with ex Fran Cosgrave, son Harry, 14, with dancer Gavin Hatcher, son Alfie, eight, with Riad Erraji and four-year-old daughter Ella Rose with Five singer Ritchie Neville.
Last month, the star celebrated her little girl Ella Rose’s fourth birthday.
Taking to Instagram, Natasha shared an adorable photo of Ella Rose with her brothers on her special day.
Proud mum Natasha wrote: “What a day! Wishing my beautiful little girl a very happy 4th birthday!! A huge thank you to everyone who shared it with us, she’s had the best day ever!”
A few days earlier, her son Alfie walked his very first fashion show for London Fashion Week.
Gushing over her little boy after his big day, Natasha told fans: “Spending one on one time with Alfie has been amazing. My little superstar has done so well today.
“Being in a very unfamiliar environment but holding his own, being polite, always smiling even when he feels nervous. You’ve done us all proud son.”
