Ore Oduba has revealed he was robbed for his mobile phone by a moped gang recently.
The former Strictly Come Dancing winner, 32, said it “had been a long day” and he didn’t have his wits about him when the incident occurred.
Ore insists he wasn’t hurt during the robbing but it definitely taught him a lesson.

“I recently had my phone stolen by a moped gang,” Ore told The Sun. “I wasn’t hurt, but I don’t recommend it.”
The Sports Relief star revealed he was texting when the thieves grabbed his phone.
“I gave it to them on a plate, pretty much,” he continued. “I was texting with a wide berth, so they grabbed it. Lesson learnt.”
“It had been a long day and I didn’t have my wits about me,” Ore added.
Ore recently became a dad for the first time after welcoming his son Roman with wife Portia on Jan. 11.
Alongside a sweet black and white photo of himself cuddling his little boy Ore announced his son’s arrival.
“Cannot find the words to describe this feeling…” he said. “His mum is simply my hero. 09.01.18 the best day in our tiny family’s life.
“Roman, you are our world… and the world is all yours.”
Ore and TV researcher Portia married in 2015 and announced they were expecting their first child in August 2016.
Earlier this week the presenter opened up about how much he’s been enjoying fatherhood.

Ore took to Instagram to share a picture of him and Roman out on a walk.
“Gotta say, being a dad (even a part-time one so far) is even better than I dreamt it,” he admitted. “Having his life in our hands is everything.”
Ore explained that he’s looking forward to the last week of the Strictly Come Dancing live tour, but can’t wait to make up for “lost time” with his son.
