This Morning's Dr Ranj Singh issues safety warning after being robbed in London after BRIT Awards

This Morning medic Dr Ranj Singh has revealed he was robbed on his way home from the BRIT Awards and he wants to remind others to take care when out at night.

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant had his watch stolen in the mugging in Soho, London, on Tuesday but wasn't hurt.

Dr Ranj, 42, shared his ordeal on Instagram on Wednesday night, the Mirror reports.

Ranj, 42, said: "I had the BEST night last night. Sadly, on my way home from Soho when I was walking to get a taxi, I was approached by a man who robbed me.

"It all happened so quickly and luckily I wasn't hurt at all (the git stole my watch though), but it could've been so much worse."

He added: "I foolishly chased after him, but he got away. I now know that's not a good idea as sometimes these people will lead you into a trap.

"I wasn't going to say anything because I felt stupid and a little bit embarrassed, but after speaking to some friends I thought it might just serve as a reminder: please be careful when coming home at night, even in spaces you think are safe."

He added: "Look out for each other peeps x."

He was offered support by Loose Woman's Judi Love who wrote: "Omgg hun hope your okay xx."

While comedian Joe Lycett wrote: "Very sorry to hear this xxx."
