Journalist Sarah Vine, the ex-wife of the former Tory politician, says she and daughter Beatrice, 20, were bumped by a Porsche in West London on Sunday.

The man is said to have then tried to undertake her car at the red lights. Ms Vine described how the driver then followed her for around half a mile, before "ramming his car into the back of mine". Taking to Instagram after the collision, she wrote: "Today my daughter and I were in the car. Behind us, this man. "He seemed to take umbrage when I stopped to let a pedestrian cross (the lights ahead were red anyway). He tried to undertake me, but failed.

"He then tailgated me for about half a mile, gesticulating like a demented ape, before eventually ramming his car into the back of mine. "My daughter was very scared, so I just moved off, having decided he was too out of control to confront. He then fell back, and turned off onto a side road.". Ms Vine said she has reported the driver to police. She also claimed the man had "picked on the wrong b****".

Ms Vine is the ex-wife of former Tory Cabinet Minister Mr Gove. The pair married in 2001, two years after meeting. During their relationship, the then couple had two children together. However, they finalised their divorce in January 2022 - having announced they were separating in July the previous year. The columnist later confirmed in an interview with Tatler that her ex-husband's political career played a huge role in the breakdown of their relationship.
