Pop star ‘shaken’ by mugging

POP star Rachel Stevens was said to be “shaken” yesterday after being robbed of jewellery by three muggers who followed her home.

The three men ambushed the former S Club 7 singer on Tuesday afternoon as she entered her flat in north London, making her hand over several items. The haul reportedly included an engagement ring, a necklace and a Rolex watch.

A spokesman for Stevens, 31, who came second in last year’s Strictly Come Dancing show, described the experience as “distressing”.

She is engaged to actor Alex Bourne, with their wedding planned for this summer.

According to The Sun newspaper, police are investigating whether the gang had been following Stevens’s movements during a shopping trip. She was attacked at about 4pm. Scotland Yard said: “It’s believed the woman returned to her flat and was followed in to the premises by three males.

“The suspects are understood to have threatened her before making off with a quantity of jewellery.”

One of the robbers was white and the two others were black, police said.

The attack is being investigated by Camden Robbery Squad.
