Revelation by Mark Williams-Thomas

Mark Williams-Thomas who presents the program The Investigator on ITV stated that two famous and popular celebrities from America and one from England revealed to him their fear of being attacked by acid.

He said that the celebrities said that they do not fear knives or guns or such weapons but they are phobic of pepper spray and acid.

The stars told him that it was so easy to conceal the acid inside water bottles and use it when they felt like doing so. Mark told the Daily Star:

“I was talking to two A-list celebrities recently – genuinely big names – and they say the biggest fears now aren’t guns or knives, it’s pepper spray or acid.
“They were genuinely scared.”

Mark, 48 feels that the public meet and greets which also included those that take place on red carpets during film premieres may soon disappear and become a thing of the past. Mark said this as an explanation:

“It will get to the stage where fans getting near to celebrities is stopped.”

Williams-Thomas feels that access to celebrities could be denied due to this rising crime. He also has a strong feeling that the royal walkouts that occur will soon also be a thing of the past and will be banned due to the lurking fear of acid attacks.

The celebrities who fear acid attacks

TV presenter Scarlett Moffatt, 28 had disclosed that she was living and working in fear that she would be attacked with a corrosive acid by some deranged fan. This was when she was filming for Channel 4 a reboot of the dating show called Streetmate in 2017.

Scarlett Moffatt talked of her phobia:

“I had it in my head that people would see the camera and that would make me a target.”

“In my head I was going to be an acid attack victim.”

UK Statistics of Acid Attacks

Great Britain has the highest incidence of acid attacks in the world, according to reports. It is the largest number of recorded incidents per person in any country. In January, Met released figures showing an increase in the number of acid-mediated violence incidents.

It has risen by more than 78% in the last two years. Compared to 260 in 2015, there were 465 violent “corrosive liquid” offenses in London in 2017.

The Criminologist Professor Simon Harding from the University of West London says that warm weather could be one reason for the rise in adrenaline and testosterone and such attacks.

He said:

“Tension in London is so high at the moment that if we get a spell of good weather it could well kick off into public disorder.”
