Celebrity chef James Martin has raged at 'lawless London' after yobs smashed the rear windscreen of his car in broad daylight.

Martin, who hosts James Martin's Saturday Morning on ITV every week, took to Instagram to hit out at crime rates in the capital after he and several friends were all targeted in the space of a week.

He said two friends had had their cars stolen and another was mugged.

He wrote: 'So in a week two of my friends cars got stolen, one other mate got mugged and now I had this happen all in broad daylight all in central London.

'London is broken big time… next time I’m bringing the Malis.'
