''Devasted. Phone just nicked from baby's changebag ealing b'way MnS. Priceless photos of my children. Huge reward for return Samsung galaxy.''

She said she has lost precious photos of her children, her son's 6th birthday and films of them both.

The author, broadcaster and stand-up comedian is a local Ealing resident and had just returned from South Africa where she's been filming a new interactive programme called ' Give Me a Break'.
