Alexandra Cane mugged by a cyclist who stole her phone in the street

Alexandra Cane has revealed a cyclist stole her phone in Shoreditch on Sunday afternoon.

The Love Island star, 29, took to Instagram to admit she was left ‘shaken’ following the robbery, but reassured her fans that she is currently feeling ‘okay’.

Make-up artist Alexandra insisted she’s ‘thankful that a weapon wasn’t involved’ during the terrifying mugging and urged her followers to ‘be careful’ as she claimed similar incidents have become more frequent in east London in recent weeks.

The fitness enthusiast wrote: ‘Just got mugged in Shoreditch by a guy on a bicycle whilst walking down the street. I’m okay’, before directing friends and family to contact her via her manager.

The reality star went on to reveal that she’s been forced to use a basic mobile phone: ‘UPDATE: Thank you for all your messages of support. My phone got stolen out of my hand whilst walking earlier. 

‘I’m currently using a different device to post this (that doesn’t have a SIM card/number) so not able to make calls etc. Was a little shaken earlier but had some time to reflect on the situation…’.

The influencer also insisted she wanted to look at the brighter side of the situation while sending the robber ‘love and light’. 

Alexandra added: ‘I pray that the guy who stole my phone is able to make some money from my handset (if that was his intention), as clearly he is struggling to have to go to such measures. I wish him nothing but love and light. 

‘I’m going to enjoy being a little further disconnected for the rest of the today. Tomorrow is one of the biggest days of my life, so I’m going to go for a walk and reflect on my journey and how it’s got me here. 

‘I will count my blessings. I will seek the good in this situation. Time to switch off & replenish my energy cause lord knows I need it! I hope you’re ready for what’s coming…’ 

The TV star ended her post by pleading with fans to stay safe and be ‘mindful’ while out in the eastern region of the English capital. 

The brunette said: ‘PS. I know it’s easy for me to say “be careful when walking in East London/Shoreditch that it doesn’t happen to you…”

‘But a few weeks ago it happened to a girl I know, she posted about it, however, I didn’t process it properly as I didn’t think it would happen to me… but it did. 

‘Please be cautious guys, I’m so thankful it wasn’t my whole handbag/wallet etc and that a weapon wasn’t involved. Apparently this is happening a lot around this area so PLEASE BE MINDFUL!!!

‘I know I said I was enjoying feeling connected to earth earlier but higher powers really took it to the next level didn’t they. Catch you guys tomorrow! Keep your eyes peeeeeeeled. I’m off to buy a Nokia 3210.’ (sic)
