![Despite insisting: 'It's too scary [in London] to have anything nice these days', her proclamations about the capital come after The Saturdays star, 37, was spotted with an eye-popping £442,589 worth of jewellery on both wrists and hands](https://i.dailymail.com/1s/2026/05/21/14/108773075-15836687-Despite_insisting_It_s_too_scary_in_London_to_have_anything_nice-a-2_1779368811207.jpg)

The former Saturdays star recently shared glimpses of her luxury collection during a Miami trip, accompanied by her sister Sophie Piper and husband Marvin Humes. Her extravagant ensemble included a £3,780 Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet, Cartier bangles totaling £68,300, a £70,000 Bvlgari Serpenti Tubogas watch, a £499 Oura ring, and her £300,000 engagement ring.

Rochelle’s comments highlight growing public concern as London sees a surge in violent crime, particularly phone snatching, with tens of thousands of mobile devices stolen annually. Authorities report over 224,000 phones stolen in the past four years, a number likely underestimated due to underreporting.
High-end retail stores have become targets for organised gangs, with incidents involving SUVs and motorbikes smashing into boutiques to steal luxury watches, handbags, and jewellery. Shops affected include Rolex, Yves Saint Laurent, and independent jewellers like Gregory & Co in Richmond and Sultan Jewellery in Shepherd’s Bush.
Humes’ warning comes amid an alarming pattern of brazen robberies. In one recent attack, masked raiders stormed the Bucherer Rolex Boutique at One Hyde Park on motorbikes, fleeing with high-value items in mere minutes. Luxury fashion houses on Bond Street, such as Yves Saint Laurent, have also been hit by similar smash-and-grab operations.
While Rochelle continues to flaunt her designer style, including Chanel handbags and coordinated outfits alongside her husband, she emphasizes the personal risk involved. “It’s too scary [in London] to have anything nice these days,” she told listeners, reflecting the harsh reality facing Londoners and high-profile celebrities alike.
