It's been three weeks since Dermot made an urgent plea on Instagram, revealing his bag - which included many sentimental possessions - was stolen from a locker inside a Psycle gym in central London.

Alongside a photo of the alleged thief, Dermot wrote: "I know there are more important things happening in the world right now, but last week my bag (with my wedding ring in it) was stolen from a locked locker at Psycle on Mortimer St. London.

Dermot previously shared this photo of the alleged thief on social media

"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.) But this man stole my wedding ring and gold crucifix. Something that would mean nothing to him - but everything to me."

He added: "I've made peace with the knowledge that I'll probably never see these cherished items again, but I'd really like it if you, your loved ones, or anyone else you know, didn't have to go through the same ordeal of having your personal items stolen by this man.
