Taking to Twitter, the TV doctor 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 have been so much worse."

"I wasn't going to say anything because I felt stupid and a 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. Look out for each other peeps x."
In a follow-up post, he assured fans that he was fine, saying: "I'm OK. A little shaken, but mostly just angry about it all because he approached me as if he needed help.
