George Clarke, the well-known TV presenter, recently revealed that he was a victim of robbery. The incident left him shaken and he even feared the worst - being stabbed. George, who has graced our screens on various Channel 4 and Channel 5 programmes like The Home Show, The Restoration Man, George Clarke's Amazing Spaces, and Property Dreams, took to Instagram to share his ordeal with his followers.
In his post, he assured everyone that he was okay, but sadly, a watch that he cherished was stolen from him. Angered by the situation, the 50-year-old wrote, "To the person who stole my watch tonight...I feel sorry for you." His followers flooded the comment section with messages of support and George took a moment to thank them for their kind words. "Thank you all for your lovely messages. I really appreciate it. At the end of the day, it's just a watch. Although I loved it, it had no sentimental value," he added.
The architect went on to say that the incident made him realize that the most important thing was his safety. "It's just a watch in the end. I worked hard for it and loved it, but I could have been seriously hurt. So I'm letting it go," he said. "I'm alright, just frustrated with myself," he concluded.
Many know George for his work on television, but not many know that his journey in the industry began by chance when his literary agent suggested he audition for a Channel 5 show called Build A New Life in the Country. Since then, he has presented several property and architectural programmes and most recently, George Clarke's Adventures in Americana. He has also authored several books, but in an interview earlier this year, he made it clear that he has no interest in being a celebrity.
"I don't like to use the 'C' word - celebrity. It's not something I aspire to be. I just want to be known as a good architect. My true passion lies in creating and crafting beautiful programmes that people enjoy watching," he said. "That's why I started my own production company five years ago. I love the process of making television - getting the perfect shots and writing engaging scripts. But I have to admit, watching myself on TV is a bit strange. I prefer to focus on the creative aspect of it all," George added.
He also mentioned that the thought of being a celebrity makes him feel uncomfortable. "I am a designer and a maker at heart. So being labeled as a celebrity just doesn't sit well with me," he said.
