A STRICTLY Come Dancing star has shared the terrifying moment she was mugged in broad daylight in the middle of London.
The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it crime has prompted her to speak out to make sure others don’t suffer the same issue.
Annabel Croft, who competed in the 2023 series alongside Johannes Radebe, said she was waiting for a taxi when the incident occurred.
Speaking on Instagram, Annabel detailed the moment and thanked those that rushed to her aid.
"I just wanted to warn people who are on their own in London. I just got mugged waiting for a taxi outside King's Cross St Pancras,” she wrote.

“The man was riding a bike and wearing a black balaclava. He rode straight at me and took my phone clean out of my hands.”
“He rode away with it but luckily dropped my phone so I got it back. Terrifying!” Annabel added.
She added: "On a positive note, there are some lovely people out there. Luckily a lovely gentleman witnessed it and came over to help me. Thank you to whoever you are."
Annabel is the latest person to suffer at the hands of cycle and moped thieves, who have been doing "snatch and grabs" around London for the past few years.
Several celebrities have said they have had their phones stolen as they make their way through and around busy train stations.
A phone is being swiped every four minutes, according to research by the Labour Party who have promised to crack down on the yobs as part of their manifesto.
Love Island's Anna-May Robey had a similar thing happen to her in February.
In a post on social media, the Welsh beauty said: "Walking to a shoot on Monday, my phone was snatched out of my hand by a cyclist.
"The cyclist approached me from behind so I was unaware and completely oblivious.
"The phone was unlocked so the guy had access to everything. He was able to change my Apple ID straight away so I couldn't track the phone or access any of my information on any other devices."
