Arabella Chi 'can't sleep' and suffering from nightmares after roadside attack
The former ‘Love Island’ star has been left shaken following a “scary” carjacking last week, when she was dragged out of her motor and robbed.
The 32-year-old model told The Sun newspaper: “It was so scary, and I’ve been having nightmares about being dragged out of bed, just like I was from the car.
“I was petrified when it happened, but now I know they’d been watching us and waiting to attack us, it is even more horrible to think about.”
Arabella - who is currently romantically linked to Manchester City footballer Ruben Dias, 26 - detailed how she and her dad Paul were spotted by the thugs zooming off the ferry from Ibiza to Barcelona.
They had their tyres slashed by a gang, who then “approached” them with a “friendly” air.
She said: “We think they’d got us at the first set of lights, and we’d not noticed. It was clever of them.
“As I pulled off from the lights, I could see the tyre pressure dropping really quickly on the car’s computer.
“We got out of the car and got our electric pump out when four men approached us.
“I thought they were being friendly, as they were telling us where a garage was, but now I know they were scoping out the car.
“Even though I have blacked-out windows, they could have seen it was packed full of luggage and I think they wanted that.”
The ex ‘Celebs Go Dating’ star detailed how she and her father devised a plan - which involved Paul going in an Uber to a petrol station to get help, and she remained in the locked car to protect their belongings - but the thugs then struck.
Arabella said: “Hearing the doors unlock makes me feel sick. I was terrified.
“I remember the lights flashing. This man was grabbing my arm and pulling me out.
"He was shouting at me and saying he was going to take me to a garage to help me. I started screaming, ‘Get off me, get off me’.
“As he was pulling me out, I was trying to stay in the car and shut the door so I could lock it again, but my hands were frozen.
“At the same time, the other door opened but I didn’t see it. I was making such a racket that after a few seconds, he just let go and walked off really calmly.
“I locked the doors again, not that that would have made any difference, and I rang my dad and was screaming and crying.
“I was petrified. I thought they might be going to get more people then come back to get me.
"I knew they could unlock the car and I was by myself. That is what I find so scary, I don’t know what they would have done if they’d come back.”
