Bargain Hunt star flooded with support as his family is targeted by car theft – and confront robbers in the street
A BARGAIN Hunt star received support from fans after a member of his family was targeted by car thieves.
Auctioneer Phillip Serrell recently shared the terrifying ordeal his daughter went through when robbers nicked the keys to her vehicle.
He told followers that Clementine actually caught them red handed as they tried to snatch her car.
However, the dad did not seem concerned, and actually joked that his daughter had ruined their reputation.
Phillip wrote: “Last night @clemserrell caught 2 blokes stealing her car after a car key theft.
“In a way I hope they don’t get caught. Won’t do their street cred any good being chased off by a 5’4” blonde.”
Clementine herself also laughed about the situation, saying: “I’m basically a Liam Neeson/James Bond hybrid now thank you to everyone for their well wishes x”
People flocked to the comments to congratulate the woman on being so brave, with one writing: “Clementine Serrell is constantly inspiring and such a hard working person. Only deserves the best and not these crooks! Hugs to you, Clem.”
Another agreed: “At-a-girl Clem – hope you are ok.”
A third chimed in: “Sorry to hear this but it’s good Clem chase the hoodlums off. Hope she it ok.”
Phillip previously opened up about his only child’s battle with anorexia, sharing how proud he was that she managed to beat the eating disorder.
The personal trainer herself shared that she was “desperately unhappy” while struggling with the condition.
Her father added to MailOnline: “As a dad, it’s been very difficult, I’ve found it very hard to understand. I’ve spent 62 years enjoying eating and it’s very hard not to say: ‘Just eat, it’s easy.’
“But Clementine has come through this on her own and I know she’d love to help others who are in a similar situation.”
