A woman who was rescued from a live Tube track by a stranger has been reunited with her hero after an online appeal. Tegan Badham, 22, slipped onto the track at King's Cross St Pancras station in London last July, moments before a train arrived.
Anthony Smith, 31, a hotel developer from London, reached down and pulled her to safety as she was being electrocuted by 630 volts. Tegan credited her £40 rubber boots with helping to save her life, as paramedics said they likely prevented her death.
The pair met again on the BBC show Reunion Hotel, hosted by Alex Jones. Tegan, from Cwmbran in south Wales, said: 'It's amazing to meet you. I just want to give you a cwtch, I don't know what to say but thank you - I'm alive.'
Anthony, originally from Sydney, Australia, said he acted instinctively. 'I just saw you in there and thought person in hole, get person out of hole otherwise train is coming,' he said. After the rescue, he left without giving his details, but Tegan launched a search to thank him.
Tegan suffered electric burns and was treated at St Thomas' Hospital. She now has a lightning bolt tattoo on her arm to commemorate the incident. The reunion, filmed at Iscoyd Park in north Wales, airs on BBC One Wales and BBC Two from 6 April.
