Seann Walsh, who sparked mass controversy after he snogged his pro partner Katya Jones on the show in 2018, took to Instagram to share the startling update.

He wrote on his story: "New in the adventures of living in London: today whilst waiting at the lights in my car, a guy walked up to my car, opened the passenger side door and went to get in.

"Luckily, the traffic lights had changed and I could drive off," he added.

"It's beginning to feel like I'm living in Grand Theft Auto," he said.

 

This comes just weeks after he was mugged in London.

Taking to his Instagram Stories, Seann revealed: "My phone was stolen (yes out of my hand and yes, I live in London) a week or so ago and it is now in China if anyone happens to be passing by."

He shared a picture of his phone's location, which was in China.

Seann's mugging came just weeks after fellow Strictly star Michelle Tsiakkas was left "traumatised" after also being mugged in London.

Pro dancer Michelle, 29, told her followers that the ordeal left her feeling "scared and helpless".

The Strictly star - who joined the show three years ago - took to Instagram to share the terrifying incident.

Addressing her fans in a video, she said: "Hi guys, so I wanted to just make this video to let you know something that happened to me the other day in London.

"Now this was a couple of days ago and I've just about mentally recovered from that. It was quite traumatising on the day.

"It wasted my whole day and made me feel awful, scared, helpless and I don't want the same to happen to you.

"My phone got stolen. My phone got stolen. I mean I see it happening all the time but it's just one of those things that you just never think it's gonna happen to you. and then it does."

Recounting the story, Michelle said: "So it was early morning. I was on my way to the dentist in London.

"It was around Covent Garden so the streets were really quiet. I think I was just the only person around so maybe I was an easy target 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.

"Thankfully there were two really lovely and helpful women there and they'd seen that I was a bit distressed."
