LOST APPEAL: TV personality Kate Garraway appeals for help after losing gold purse in London black taxi

British television presenter Kate Garraway has made a public appeal for assistance after losing her gold purse during a taxi journey in London.

The incident occurred as Garraway was travelling from Leicester Square to her home in North London, with a brief stop at St Pancras to purchase rail tickets to Cornwall.

In a post shared on social media platform X, Garraway expressed her frustration, stating that efforts to recover the purse through Transport for London (TfL) have so far been unsuccessful. She urged anyone who might know the black cab driver to come forward.

Garraway noted that the driver was heading to Tower Hamlets after her journey to pick up his wife, a detail she recalled after speaking to the driver's wife on the phone during the ride.

The social media post has garnered significant attention, amassing over 400,000 views. Despite the widespread sharing, Garraway is yet to be reunited with her missing purse.

Garraway, known for her work on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, is hoping that public awareness might lead to the safe return of her belongings.

Kate Garraway said on a social media: “Please help - I left my gold purse in a black cab from smooth in Leicester Square to home in north London - we stopped at St Pancras to buy a rail card and tickets to Cornwall - pleeeeeease get in touch if anyone knows a black cab driver - am getting nowhere with TfL.”
