'Dancing on Ice's Jason Gardiner warns iPhone users after mugging

Jason Gardiner has sent a warning out to fellow smartphone users after being mugged on Sunday.

The Dancing on Ice judge revealed on Twitter this weekend that he handed over his iPhone to two youths after being threatened with a knife.

Speaking to Phillip Schofield on This Morning, he recalled of the event: "I was on my way to a friend's place for dinner at ten to eight in the evening.

"And the thing is, it was because I was on my iPhone and I was looking at Google Maps."

Addressing the wider public, Gardiner continued: "So you must be very careful and aware that actually you are a beacon and a sitting target for muggers when you're on your iPhone and looking at this application."

When asked by Schofield whether he felt scared during the attack, Gardiner said: "Yeah, oh yeah. It was pretty harrowing."
