S Club Star Stevens Robbed

Popstar Rachel Stevens has been left "shaken" after a door-step ambush by three men demanding her jewellery.

The robbers followed the Strictly Come Dancing runner-up to her Regents Park home, in north London, yesterday afternoon.

They are believed to have made off with her engagement ring, a necklace and a watch.

A spokesman for the 31-year-old former S Club singer released a short statement, which read: "Rachel did experience an intrusion and is shaken, but otherwise ok."

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "It's believed the woman returned to her flat and was followed in to the premises by three males.

"The suspects are understood to have threatened her before making off with a quantity of jewellery."
