Fox tried to steal as many wallets as she could without being stopped as part of a stunt for the Five show Swag.

The show, which films people being tempted into committing illegal acts, is described by its makers as a "cross between Police Camera Action and Trigger Happy TV".

"It's amazing to see just how much celebrities can get away with," said a Five spokesman.

The eight-part series begins on 23 March.
