Dermot O’Leary Identified the Thief
Dermot 47, who recently embraced his first baby with wife Dee Koppang, said: “I had my locker raided while I was at an exercise class and he took my whole bag which contained my wedding ring, which I had taken off because it can get snagged and so forth, and my crucifix and my watch.”
It comes after Dermot shared the news after re-posting Metropolitan Police’s Twitter post, which requested any related information about the thief on Twitter.
The post from MPS Westminster 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’.

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 https://t.co/esifysCOTM
