and I whipped out my phone to have a look at the directions to see where my dentist was.
"I was on the actual street of the dentist and what happens?
A man comes on a bike behind me, sweeps past me and grabs my phone.
"So he's grabbed my phone. He's on an electric bike and my heart just sank. I tried to I think like reach for it and that made me fall on my knees on the floor and graze my knee.
"I think my reflex was just to swear and then scream give me back my phone and clearly you know that didn't work.
"He just left. He was wearing a mask so there was no way that I could have seen what he looked like and he was going really fast on that electric bike so there was no way on
earth
I could have caught up with him.

Mystery as Molly-Mae snubs Tommy Fury's BBC3 doc entirely after skipping launch – despite his ‘happier than ever' claim
MOLLY-MAE Hague has sparked concern for her relationship after snubbing partner Tommy Fury's BBC3 documentary entirely. It comes after The Sun was first to reveal why the Maebe founder didn't attend the Manchester premiere of the 26-year-old boxer's TV show earlier this week. 6 Molly-Mae Hague has sparked worries after failing to address boyfriend Tommy Fury's new BBC3 documentary Credit: Getty 6 She was a no-show for the premiere in Manchester Credit: Splash 6 Tommy and Molly-Mae rekindled their romance this year Credit: Getty Meanwhile, Tommy was left squirming after he was grilled on their exact relationship status and engagement during an interview on BBC Breakfast. Current social media snaps showed mum of one Molly-Mae, 26, enjoying a sunny break away with her best pal, Tayla-Blue, in images posted to Memree founder Tayla's page. Yet despite her other half's major career moment - which has seen BBC show The Good. The Bad. The Fury, already hit screens - she has stayed silent. On her Instagram grid, Molly-Mae's most recent post was uploaded three days ago and focussed solely on her "extra special" time at work. She has refrained from mentioning Tommy's latest media project on her Instagram Stories - keeping her page upload-free - despite their claim they are "happier than ever." Meanwhile, it has been Tayla who has shared snaps of her daughter Storie and Tommy and Molly Mae's little girl Bambi, aged two, on their girls trip. Molly-Mae and Tommy who met on Love Island in 2019, split last summer. They confirmed their reunion, much to the delight of fans, back in May. REAL DEAL The Sun understands that Molly-Mae skipped the event for Tommy's documentary as she was keen to not "overshadow" the launch of Tommy's programme and let him have his own time in the spotlight following their up and down 12 months. Inside Tommy Fury's huge and 'lonely' new mansion with swimming pool he 'bought for Molly-Mae and Bambi' A source told The Sun: "Molly is keen to keep a low profile at the moment. "She is obviously back with Tommy but it's his night and doesn't want to overshadow it. "It's been a funny time for Molly - she's very thick skinned but she's had a lot to deal with and isn't used to backlash." Another source added to The Sun that Molly was "away working" and very busy which caused her to miss the event. HARD HITTING Tommy's documentary candidly addressed the pair's recent split, as well as making a series of shock revelations about it. In the show, he confessed that he was downing "20 shots a night" and drinking to get "blackout drunk" ahead of their split last year. He said: "The reason for our ending the relationship was alcohol." He added: "I couldn't train, box, lift weights, that was all gone. "My right hand was messed up, I was in dire pain, it's just what happens over years of impact on the hand. "I had lost my entire identity, lost my life." He then bravely admitted he was "too drunk" to remember Molly-Mae walking out on him. 6 Molly-Mae skips is on a girls trip with her best mate Credit: taayblue/Instagram 6 Tommy, 26, was joined by his family on the red carpet Credit: Splash

Asked how things are outside of the villa, Cach said: "It's going well, I feel like feelings are strong as they were in the villa. "I've been spending every day with her since obviously she's here by herself, so making sure she's OK and stuff. "But she's struggling a bit with the attention aspect. "Because before she worked a normal job, and had no followig, she's never had this amount of attention in her life. "I've let her know that we've just come off one of the biggest shows in the UK and everybody in the UK watches it." Cach added: "Once she goes back to America I don't think it will be that bad ... it will be more like she can breath. "Like we went shopping the other day and she gets swarmed by the little girls like people calling her 'icon'.
