Spencer Matthews has revealed that he was forced to hide in a vault inside a watch shop, as thieves smashed the store to pieces.
The terrifying incident took place at a vintage jewellers on Duke Street in London, and the former Made In Chelsea star said the robbers were wielding “huge hammers”.
Taking to Instagram, the father-of-one said: “I just had to hide in a vault downstairs in a watch shop while it was smashed to pieces by armed robbers. Well, maybe not armed, but they had huge jackhammers.”
“I was picking up a vintage piece I’ve been waiting on for ages when they drove a scooter through the glass and started battering the shop with huge hammers wearing helmets.”

“We were in the back of the shop so we sprinted downstairs and hid in the vault until the noise passed.”
After waiting a while, Spencer and his friends eventually came back upstairs, to find the store completely ransacked.
“When we came upstairs the watches were all gone,” Spencer explained. “We were looking around and I was thinking ‘f***ing hell, the thing I’ve been waiting for has been nicked and I’m going to have to go get another one. Then low and behold amongst all the rubble there’s one watch in the entire shop and it’s mine. If that’s not luck I don’t know what is.”
Spencer then shared photos of the smashed up store, and a snap of his lucky new watch.
