Love Island star Wes Nelson was left fuming after his Luis Vuitton bag was stolen - and even accidentally captured the moment it happened on camera. The 26-year-old, from Newcastle-under-Lyme, was on a train when his designer bag was swiped as he used it in the overhead storage.

Devastated over the theft, former Newcastle College Wes explained that it had 'everything important in it' and that it 'took a split second to look away' when it was taken at Milton Keynes.

Thankfully, he had taken his MacBook out before the journey, so his music had not been stolen too. He is now warning other passengers travelling between London and Stoke-on-Trent to be extra vigilant.

Taking to Instagram on Saturday, he told his 1.4 million followers: "My LV bag was just stolen on the train just as we stopped at Milton Keynes. Had everything important in it. I'm LUCKY I took my MacBook out before the journey. All my music would have been GONE. Anyway, just a heads up, it literally took a split second to look away and that s*** was gone. Rats everywhere."

The former Clayton High School student went on to share a selfie he had taken earlier which showed the reflection of his bag in the glass behind him. He said: "Just clocked this in the pic I sent earlier. The bag has been pulled WAAAY back to the seat behind me, the guy must have been slowly sliding backwards whenever I looked down. Then quickly dipped at the first stop.

"You know what's mad, you always think there's no way this s*** gonna happen to me without noticing first. But here we are. S***. Also this is the FIRST time I've ever used overhead storage. Never again."

After appearing on Love Island in 2018, Wes competed on Dancing On Ice and The X Factor: Celebrity the following year before securing a record deal with EMI Records in 2020. Since then, Wes has been focused on his music career. And to get in shape for his tour, Wes undertook a strict fitness and health regime - showing off his results back in November.

Sharing before-and-after photos of himself, the former of him looking down as he posed in a hotel room and the latter of him grinning with a six-pack in the studio, he wrote: "Transformation for my Tour (and for myself). I’ve been quietly working on myself for a while now, I neglected my health for years, it’s affected me physically and mentally! For the first time in years I can honestly say, I feel f****** great! Tour starts in 9 days. Lets go!"

Fans wasted no time in commenting, One person said: "Drop the workout plan. Beast." Another person added; "You look amazing bro. I wish I had your push and drive. Keep smiling man." Meanwhile a third said: "You put in that work."
