Former Strictly Come Dancing professional Pasha Kovalev has been mugged by moped thieves.
The dancer had his phone stolen by two men on the vehicle after he was leaving Sadler’s Wells Theatre in North London on Thursday.
According to The Sun, the men drove at him and mounted the pavement before snatching his phone.
Pasha had been to see his former Strictly colleagues Katya and Neil Jones perform in Somnium: A Dancer’s Dream at the theatre when the incident took place.
London’s Metropolitan Police were called to the scene at 10.10pm, but no arrests have been made as of yet.
A spokesperson for the force confirmed: “It is alleged that two men on mopeds stole a phone from a man as he walked down the road. No arrests have been made, enquiries continue.”
A representative for Pasha had no further comment to make when contacted by HuffPost.
Pasha quit Strictly Come Dancing after “eight fantastic years” earlier this year.
He said: “After scoring 93 perfect tens, reaching four finals and lifting one Glitterball, it’s time for me to find a new challenge and so I’ve decided to make last year - my final season on Strictly.
“I’ve had eight fantastic years, full of wonderful memories, thanks to the incredible partners, professionals and myriad of behind the scenes teams who all work to make Strictly the amazing production that it is.”
He and his partner Rachel Riley are currently expecting their first child together.
