Another sort of ram raid for which the perpetrators turned up on mopeds:

“I was there picking up this vintage piece and these guys drive a scooter through the glass and start battering the shop with big huge hammers, wearing helmets,” he said.

I can't see it in the pictures where the scooter smashed the glass, but I imagine it must have been the shop's door. That whole raid sounds fairly shockingly brutal.

But he could--'his' watch was still there! It was like a miracle!

The reality TV star added that he was stunned to discover that “amongst all the rubble and all the glass” there was one watch left in the entire shop – the one he had come to pick up.

He said: "We were looking around and I'm just thinking f**king hell the thing that I've been waiting for has obviously just been nicked so I'm going to have to go and get another one.

"Lo and behold we look around and on the floor amongst all the rubble and the glass and stuff there's one watch in the entire shop and it's mine.

"Now if that's not luck I don't know what is."
