Caterpillar Identification Help Please:

Please can anyone help to identify this caterpillar from the following description:

"A largish (35mm long) caterpillar found feeding on nettles. Dark brown with 4 rows of darker protuberances with brown tufts of hair very hairy. Noticeable pink stripe down back small white spot on either side of last but one segment".

This is the exact description given by the observer.

Many thanks.
