A machete-wielding teenager threatened to cut off singer Aled Jones' arm as he stole his £17,000 Rolex watch in broad daylight, a court has been told.
Aled Jones was walking along Chiswick High Road in west London at around 5.40pm on July 7 when a 16-year-old boy attacked him.
Prosecutor Robert Simpson told the court: "The complainant, who is Aled Jones, was walking with his son when he was approached by a youth dressed in a black tracksuit top and bottoms and wearing black trainers. Mr Jones and his son waited on a video link for almost two hours to give evidence before it was turned on for about a minute. The star nodded and thanked court staff as he was told the teenager pleaded guilty.
District Judge Andrew Sweet told him the offending was "very, very serious" and adjourned the case for reports to be prepared.The teenager was arrested at his west London home after CCTV was collected from the area in which the robbery took place.
