The 50-year-old presenter added: "I'm ok. I'm just angry with myself. I wanted to hit him but I'd be the one done for assault!!!!"

Fans flooded his post with comments of support. One said: “Hope you are ok and weren’t hurt”, while another added: “ This is one of those times that I wish Instagram had a few different reaction emojis. Didn't really want to "heart" this one; an angry emoji would have been better! I hearted it to show support and sympathy though. Sending hugs.”

Clarke thanks fans for their support, telling them: “Thank you for all of your kind words. I really appreciate it. At the end of the day it’s only a watch…I loved it but thankfully it had no sentimental value…”
