Vanessa said she also threw up multiple times and lost all memory of the night.
"That’s when I knew something was really wrong," she said.
It was a doctor who later established she had been spiked with a date rape drug, Vanessa added.
She revealed that she was robbed after being spiked, with a bracelet snatched off her wrist.
Someone removed the SIM from her phone in an apparent attempt to stop her calling for help, she added.
"I was robbed - my Cartier bracelet was taken off my wrist and my SIM card was removed from my phone."
But she fears her attackers had far worse planned for her.
"I’m convinced the people who did this had far worse intentions.. otherwise, they wouldn’t have drugged us or taken steps to stop us from calling for help."
