Kerry Katona's terrifying robbery
KERRY Katona has been left terrified after being robbed in broad daylight while on a romantic trip with fiancé Ryan Mahoney. The former Atomic Kitten star had thousands of pounds worth of goods taken from her when she left her bags with a hotel concierge.
What happened during the robbery?
Writing in New! Magazine, Kerry explained: "I was robbed in London while staying in a hotel in Mayfair last week – I couldn’t believe it, I have the worst luck. Ryan and I were checking in to the hotel, which I won't name, and since our room wasn’t ready we left our bags with the concierge and grabbed some lunch."
The aftermath of the incident
The Gucci bag alone that was stolen costs more than £1,200 to buy – meaning the thug made off with over £2,500 worth of goods including her spare phone and clothes. Kerry said she noticed a man "acting strangely in the lobby" but didn't want to judge, only for CCTV to confirm he had taken the bags after the pair had left.
Kerry's response to the robbery
"It was so triggering for me and I did feel emotional afterwards, it’s just so scary to think you’re not safe," she said. "Thankfully, Ryan and I are OK and things can be replaced, it’s just frustrating and scary." Kerry added, "I don’t understand how people can wake up and decide to do these things, it’s awful. When things like this happen it makes me scared to go out as I don’t want to be targeted."
Impact on Kerry's business and personal life
The news comes as a fresh blow for Kerry, who has just quietly shut down her online store, Kerry’s Boutique. Despite this setback, Kerry is determined to move forward after the scary incident.
