TV presenter Michelle Dewberry has revealed that a gang of thieves stole her little brother’s shoes while he was stranded in a car accident waiting for an ambulance.
The GBNews star, 44, shared the harrowing truth on the latest episode of her programme Dewbs and Co.
Following a segment in which she discussed a video showing a gang in Rochdale using a wheelie bin to steal cigarettes and booze from a shop, the show moved on to a debate on UK crime.
Michelle, the first female winner of the BBC show The Apprentice, then discussed her family’s own experiences with crime as her brother was involved in a car accident.
She said: ‘One of my little brothers in Hull was in a car accident, and he got wedged in. This is a true story, he got wedged in the back of a car.

‘The car was wrapped around a tree. Somebody stole the car radio but also, no word of a lie, they then stole the trainers off my brother.
‘So my brother was trapped in the car, and they stole the trainers off him before the ambulance got there.
‘I’d forgotten about it, but when I think about it now, how revolting. So maybe society is being like this for quite some time.’
In the shocking video which the programme featured, a masked gang armed with an axe empty the contents of a Co-Op kiosk into a large, blue wheelie bin.
The CCTV, which was released by the police, shows the men jump over the counter of the shop in Rochdale before they empty packets of cigarettes into it.
The four men are then seen wheeling the bin away to a waiting getaway car.
Police said the staff at the Co-op were threatened by the gang, but escaped unhurt. They are now hunting the men, believed to be in their mid-teens to early 20s.
Former Kwik-Save check-out worker Michelle – who grew up on a Hull council estate and dropped out of school at 16 with just two GCSEs – shot to stardom after becoming Lord Alan Sugar’s Apprentice in 2006.

She secured a £100k-a-year-job with Lord Sugar and national fame after winning the then phenomenally popular second series.
Yet she left the billionaire technology mogul after just four months following her on-off relationship with fellow contestant Syed Ahmed, with whom she fell pregnant but sadly had a miscarriage.
In the 13 years that followed, she forged a successful career in business and TV and regularly provided political punditry.
