A TV presenter dubbed ‘the Romanian Holly Willoughby’ who moved to London is now leaving because of the crime.
Rocsana Marcu is now living in Dubai after alleging one of her daughters was attacked by several thugs.
The 42-year-old was a telly star in her homeland Romania since she was 18 and also released several pop singles.

She said she became fed up with always being recognised on the street, adding that her role was “not to dissimilar” to that of Willoughby in the UK.
She stated: “Back in Romania, people would recognise me in the street and take pictures of me and my daughters.
“It became too much.”
She moved to the UK with her two daughters Indyra, 12, and Mayra, 17, to become an estate agent for luxury properties, as reported on What’s the Jam.
The family settled into their new home in Winchmore Hill, near Enfield, north London, until a recent incident forced them to pack their bags for a new life in the UAE.
She recently appeared on the Romanian TV show ‘Exclusive VIP with Cristi Brancu’ where she explained her reasons for fleeing the UK.
Rocsana claimed: “Even though I was doing well professionally, I started to notice that my girls were no longer safe on the street.
“I had to start picking them up from school early so something wouldn’t happen.”
The influencer, who boasts over 180,000 Instagram fans, said her daughter called her one day claiming “someone was following her.”
She claimed: “I then called the police, but they eventually came after 40 minutes.
“They were trying to steal my daughter’s bag.
“I was in the car with my youngest.”
Rocsana claimed the police arrived on the scene and reprimanded her for attacking the thugs.
She added: “So I ended up in Dubai where you can mind your own business and leave your children alone on the street.”
