Elsewhere on the programme, Dermot discussed the new book he has written about a jewel thief after having his own wedding ring stolen.     

Dermot said: 'Yes. It wasn't that jewel thief, it was another one! Just around the corner from where you are actually. I had my locker raided while I was at an exercise class and he took my whole bag which contained my wedding ring, which I had taken off because it can get snagged and so forth, and my crucifix and my watch. 

Dermot revealed that due to the power of social media they were able to track down the man who had stolen his sentimental possessions.

'Anyway, thanks to Instagram, we know who he is – I won't say his name cause shenanigans is hopefully happening so fingers crossed we catch him before he does it to anyone else'.

Last month Dermot revealed his wedding ring was stolen from a gym and shared a police appeal on Twitter to find the thief.

The ring was stolen along with a bag and a gold crucifix from a gym in central London. He tweeted: 'Sadly this was my wedding ring and bag that was stolen.'

He added that he is 'sure' he would not see the items again but would like to stop the man who allegedly stole his possessions from doing so again.

'Please have a good look at the picture and if you recognise him call 101 ref 6195/21aug,' he added.

In a separate Instagram post, O'Leary wrote: 'I know there are more important things happening in the world right now, but last week by bag (with my wedding ring in it) was stolen from a locked locker at Psycle on Mortimer St, London.

'I'm not after any special preferential treatment.

'I'm not the victim of a violent crime, and even though no one should have to, I can handle all the impersonal items being stolen (the wallet, phone, watch, keys etc).'

He added that the person who took the items 'stole something that would mean nothing to him but everything to me'.  

The One Show airs weekdays, 7pm on BBC One.
