In her new memoir, Process: Finding My Way Through, Lucy said the rape took place after a night celebrating Rylan Clark's 25th birthday at the swanky Mayfair nightclub Mahiki. Lucy said that it was "inappropriate" for anyone, including contestants, to be drunk. She told the Guardian : 'How can you fulfil your duty of care when free alcohol is involved?" The young star passed out and was escorted back to the hotel by a member of the production team, before the hotel porter offered to escort her to her room. As he left, the porter flipped the security latch on her door to prevent it locking behind them.

This meant when the porter later returned to Lucy's room in order to attack her, he had to use a traceable keycard.
