Miel Newley Adam. Miel Now a bestselling author, Miel’s grandma is best known for her antagonistic role on a prime-time soap opera . Fans may have loved to hate her character, but this grandma has only love for her granddaughter.The daughter of actress Joan Collins has been mugged for her £7,000 Cartier watch.
Tara Newley, who was given the watch by her mother, was walking home from a shopping trip yesterday afternoon when she was attacked by the thief at a bus stop.
Miss Newley, the latest in a string of celebrities targeted by muggers for their expensive watches and jewellery, was left shaken and bruised by the assault.
'A man pounced on her and grabbed her by the wrist,' said her spokesman. 'He pulled her watch off her and ran away.
'Tara was terrified and has been left lacerated by the watch being snapped off her. He took her by the wrist and was too strong for her to shake off. Then he grabbed the watch and ran off.'
He said 36-year-old Miss Newley called police immediately after the attack in Notting Hill, West London.
'She spent hours going around the streets looking for the man who did it, but has not been able to spot him,' he added. 'She's shaken and bruised, but otherwise OK.'
The most recent celebrity to fall victim to the so-called 'Rolex robbers' was former footballer Gary Mab-butt. The ex-Tottenham captain was mugged in his car in Shepherds Bush, West London, a month ago for his £10,000 Rolex watch.
Others include former Tory MP Steve Norris, model Jilly Johnson, actresses Brit Ekland and Gwen Humble, and Lesley Clarke, the wife of hairdresser Nicky Clarke. Ivor Jacobs, a businessman, had his watch snatched when he was in a car with Anthea Turner.
Miss Newley is still recovering from an acrimonious divorce from her French husband Michael Adam. They will face each other in court in a custody battle over their two-year-old daughter, Miel.
Two years ago she was devastated when her father, Anthony Newley, died from cancer. The singer and actor separated from Joan Collins when Miss Newley was six.
She said recently: 'I've been through a really rough couple of years. My dad died and my marriage broke down.'
Her most recent work has been as a roving reporter for the daytime ITV series Celebrity.
