In 2007, aged 19, Symonds was driven home from a King's Road nightclub by taxi-driver John Worboys, who in 2009 was convicted of multiple sexual assaults on his passengers. She later recalled being offered champagne and vodka, which she believed was spiked, and after returning home "vomiting and laughing hysterically before passing out until 3pm the next day". During his trial, she was one of fourteen women who testified against him, subsequently telling The Telegraph that he was "a sad, wicked man who is a danger to society. I feel so angry that he pleaded not guilty and made us go through the pain of giving evidence in court"
