Love Island star’s £1,000 Louis Vuitton bag ‘stolen off her shoulder’ throughout ladies’ day trip in Lawless London

A Love Island star’s £1,000 designer handbag was stolen off her shoulder during a day out in London, she suspects.

Lauren Wood, 27, was left in ‘sheer panic’ after her luxury Louis Vuitton bag disappeared from under her nose.

The reality star, who appeared on Series 12 of the show last year, enjoyed a ‘gorgeous’ girls’ day out, including shopping at Selfridge’s, before heading to a glitzy brand event.

After browsing the selection of ‘lovely pieces’ on display at The Londoner hotel in Leicester Square, Lauren and her friend picked up a Hugo Spritz and went to the balcony, when she made the devastating discovery.

Lauren said: ‘I looked at Char, in a sheer state of panic in my eyes. I couldn’t believe it. 

‘Literally sat and realised my bag was not on my shoulder.

‘I immediately started looking around the gifting place, like have I put it on a rail, or what have I done with it?

‘The staff were looking for it, the security were looking for it. And we said to them, “Can you look at the cameras?”

‘Five minutes later, the guy comes back, he’s been to look at the CCTV cameras and he said to me: “You did not walk in the hotel with an LV bag.”‘

Lauren was stunned to learn that the bag had already vanished by the time she arrived at The Londoner.

She believes it must have been stolen either when she was on the Tube, or when she was walking around Leicester Square.

After learning the hard way, as so many others have, the influencer urged her followers to ‘keep your stuff safe when you’re in central London’.

Lauren, who coupled up with Harrison Solomon on the show and dated him for three months after leaving the villa, has since contacted Transport for London in a bid to track down the missing bag.
