X FACTOR star Bella Penfold has shared her terrifying ordeal after she was “attacked and mugged” in London.
Bella – who competed on the ITV singing competition in 2018 – said her phone had been taken during the shocking incident.
The 25-year-old appeared to have been left shaken as she told her followers on Thursday to “please be patient with me”.
She shared her Instagram: “Last night I was attacked and mugged in London. Phone was taken.
“All brands waiting on content, please be patient with me.
“Anyone who needs to contact me please message this account.”
Bella is now a content creator and shares daily life updates and glam snaps on her grid.
Her latest pictures include a photo of her in a white tennis outfit and sexy lingerie.
Bella became a fan favourite as a contestant on season 15 of The X Factor.
Her performance of Blinded By Your Grace by Stormzy made Simon Cowell give her the Golden Buzzer.
She sang Fell In Love With A Boy by Joss Stone in her first audition and Same Love by Macklemore at her Judges House audition.
Bella made it to the quarter finals where she was eliminated with the fewest public votes, finishing in 8th place.
