Good Morning Britain star Narinder Kaur was hit with backlash after claiming that her phone had been stolen from her bag. The ITV presenter took to X/Twitter to share a clip of her explaining what had happened.

In a video, she explained that she was wearing a shoulder bag in Oxford Street, when someone pickpocketed her device. “They must have put their hand in there and somehow taken it,” Narinder said. “Now the security was everywhere. In fact, two guys have just walked past right now. Oxford Circus had about six and they still took my phone! It has been a nightmare trying to get a crime reference number and get the phone blocked. I just can’t believe that I had my bag like this and they put their hand through there and I didn’t even notice. It was within three minutes.”

The presenter explained how she had used her phone just moments before. “I actually can’t get over it, and you can’t understand the panic when you lose your phone,” she said.

However, followers then questioned how she was taking the video. “But whose phone is she using to record this and upload it???” One asked.

Another echoed: “So your phone is gone… What are you recording your video on?” Someone else quipped: “Good news, Narinder, I found your phone! It’s in your left hand.”

After seeing all of the comments, Narinder then shared a second post about the theft.

She wrote: “So let’s clear up a few things. 1. Mobile phone theft isn’t an exclusive to London only problem lol 2. The issue was this bag being an open bag. I normally have a cross body and I’ve NEVER had a stolen phone.

“3. Know a loved one’s phone OFF BY HEART. 4. The nearest police station from Oxford Street is charging cross (nightmare).”
