In the clip shared to X, Mr Low starts: 'The Thames burst its banks here about three hours ago and people are still bailing water out of there cars. 

'We are seeing vehicle recovery trucks going back and forth and there is a lot of mud on the ground. 

'The Environment Agency has issued a  flood alert along the Thames that stretches from Putney Bridge down towards Hampton and Thames Ditton and that's to warn of flooding and to avoid low lying foot paths.'

Then when the camera cuts back to Mr Low after a pre-recorded clip with a member of the public, his shock and confusion is clear. 

Although viewers can't see it, it is understood that Mr Low belongings have just been nabbed.

After a long pause he kicks in again, informing viewers tha: 'Storm Ciaran on the way. From 6pm on Wednesday there is a yellow weather warning in place.'
