The robbery took place within seconds of Mary loading her luggage into a back of an Uber last night.
She explained: “I was stood waiting for an Uber for ten minutes and then it came. I’ve got my big suitcase, my carry on and then my little Louis Vuitton suitcase, which is where I put all my valuables when I am travelling because I always have it with me on the plane and I think it’s never going to go missing.
“Anyway, my Uber came, we put both suitcases in the boot and I kept my duffel bag. I got in the car. Literally the Uber set off, but on a Mercedes the car doesn’t lock and someone came and grabbed my bag out of the boot.”
She continued: “My Uber driver got out of the car and was like ‘what the hell, your bag has gone’. It had everything in, bags, shoes, sunglasses. They have literally taken so much.
“So I got the police lady and she was like ‘how long were you stood waiting for your Uber for’ and I said ten minutes and she said they would have been watching me, waiting for you to get in.”
The devastated star added: “They have taken so much but it could have been much worse. I was shocked at first. I rang my mum because I was so shaken. It’s just scary. I am just glad I am safe. I am in shock.”
