Poor old Joey Essex from The Only Way Is Essex has been left shaken after being attacked and robbed by two men posing as fans of the show in West London.
The reality star said the two male attackers pulled a knife on him as he tried to get his £10,000 Rolex watch back after they ripped it from his wrist during the mugging in a Hammersmith car park yesterday.
Joey told The Sun: “I got a knock on my car window asking if I was Joey Essex and if I would have my picture taken.
“We did the picture and when I put some money in the parking ticket machine, the geezers got hold of me and threw me over.
“It wasn’t until I got up that I realised they had nicked my watch and when I hit one of them back, he got out a knife.”

Joey took to Twitter this morning to thank his fans for their support, tweeting: "Again, thanks for all your support. I know your all there for me and I'm there for you all! Love you x"
