SUNDAY NIGHT EXCLUSIVE: An Australian victim of the London terror attacks speaks for the first time about looking into the eyes of one of the terrorists before he slashed her throat.

In a Sunday Night exclusive interview, survivor Candice Hedge, 34, describes the horror of the sickening attack that left eight dead and more than 50 injured in the heart of London.

“He looked at me and I looked at him,” Candice tells Melissa Doyle.

“It really happened so quickly.”

Earlier in the week, Ms Hedge's father said his daughter believed she had successfully hidden from the Jihadists when they entered the Elliott restaurant in which she worked.

“She got to hide and thought she was good enough, and then just at the last minute he came back and stabbed her,” Ross Hedge said.

She later took to Facebook to re-assure friends that, while in pain, she expected to recover well.

Three men armed with knives drove a van into a crowd of pedestrians on the London Bridge on Saturday night in the English capital, before stabbing innocent members of the public at random.

Among the dead are two Australians; nurse Kirsty Boden and nanny Sara Zelenak.

Ms Boden, 28, was hailed a hero after her death, with English tabloids naming her the "Angel of London Bridge" after she selflessly went to the aid of the hurt, before becoming a target herself.

Ms Zelenak's devestated family discovered she too had died after days without news.

The 21-year-old was formerly identified as one of the slain shortly after her family flew out to London in a desperate, but doomed, attempt to try to find her safe.

This Sunday, hear Candice’s chilling account of the attack and how she survived.
