Poor old John Bishop got mugged for his phone in broad daylight while he stood on a busy London pavement texting.

The comedian took to Twitter with his outrage, saying the thief had been on a motorbike.

Well that's something.

According to MailOnline, the funnyman had been sending a message at the time in east London when the mugging happened.

Apparently, the mugger took the phone out of his hand and then made off on his bike.

Still, at least John had some happier news this week – his primetime comedy programme, The John Bishop Show, starts tonight on BBC1 – and he gets to meet one of his heroes, Paul Weller, for the first episode.

There's also going to be a comedy set from Trevor Noah (who's taking over the US political comedy The Daily Show from Jon Stewart later this year) and improv music from beatbox ace Beardyman.

Catch the new series of* The John Bishop* tonight at 9.45pm on BBC1.
