This Morning host Holly Willoughby, 39, has asked her Twitter followers to “help” amid BBC Radio 2 presenter Dermot O’Leary’s search for his stolen wedding ring and a bag full of his possessions. The X Factor host, who is married to Dee Koppang, shared a call for information following on from the theft.
After Dermot opened up about his sadness in view of his 2.7 million Twitter followers, Holly decided to support the TV star.
Alongside a picture of a grey-haired man wearing a branded Adidas t-shirt, The City of Westminster Police’s statement read: “Do you recognise this man?
“We wish to speak to him re theft of a bag from a gym in Mortimer Street W1 on 13 Aug.
“Items stolen include a wedding ring etched on inner side with ‘14/9/12 Team KO’.”

He shared: “Sadly this was my wedding ring & bag that was stolen.
“I’m sure I won’t see them again, but I’d really like it if he didn’t have the opportunity to steal yours.
“Please have a good look at the picture & if you recognise him call 101 ref 6195/21aug Dx @MPSWestminster @metpoliceuk.”
Dermot also took to his Instagram page as he wrote: “I know there are more important things happening in the world right now, but last week my bag (with my wedding ring in it) was stolen from a locked locker at Psycle on Mortimer St, London.
“I’m not after any special preferential treatment.”
Dermot continued: “I’m not the victim of a violent crime, and even though no one should have to, I can handle all the impersonal items being stolen (the wallet, phone, watch, keys etc).”
The TV host went on to say that the person who took his possessions “stole something that would mean nothing to him but everything to me”.
Dermot’s items were stolen on August 13.
