She continued, "Nothing like this has ever happened to me before I swear, even when I worked for Emirates, travelling by myself and stuff, and Tom is pretty big."

"You know when you've just got a gut feeling? These two guys were just watching us and then I kept saying to Tom and he was like, 'it's fine, it's fine.'"

The attack

Laura revealed Tom was attacked while they were getting into a taxi.

She said he was climbing in when suddenly one of the lads she was weary of, "came out of nowhere," and pushed him.

The thief was trying to get the watch off Tom's wrist.

Laura reacted by running around to Tom's side of the car and yelling, "F**k off!"

She said she, "whacked him on the shoulder with [her] phone," which she says, "he could have taken."

"It was just horrible and Tom was like, 'get back in the car,' and we drove off."

"I didn't know where his friend was, I didn't know if he was gonna come from behind me."

Laura added, "I didn't know if he had any weapons, you just don't know - just for a watch!"

"Tom doesn't think he was attacked because he's very brave but the guy did attack him... I think we both reacted pretty well and it was fine."
