A Metropolitan Police spokesman told MailOnline: 'Police were called at 7.30pm on 6 October to reports of a car stolen from an address in south west London. 

'At 11.25pm officers from Hammersmith and Fulham were alerted that the car had been abandoned in Gledstanes Road, W14. It has been returned to its owner.'  

The vehicle was located using a 'tracker' built into the car, the Sun reported.  

It was found outside the Queen's Club, near where Mr Baldwin, 41, has an office for Hungry Bear Media, the TV production company he co-owns with Dragons' Den star Peter Jones.

Mr Baldwin has worked as a producer on Ministry of Mayhem, Virtually Famous, and Through the Keyhole.

Police are now examining CCTV footage from nearby buildings as they piece together what happened to the car. No arrests have been made.

Today Willoughby spoke of how she and Mr Baldwin remain loved up after nine years of marriage. 

She told the Sun: 'We're very honest with each other, we listen to each other. I love him and he loves me. 

'He makes me laugh more than anyone. I'm always very proud of him. I know whenever anyone meets him they are pretty much always going to like him more than they like me. My friends are like, "Hi Holly, where's Dan?" That always happens.'

Holly, who will host a new show Meet The Parents, also recounted an embarrassing story.  

She admitted that when she first met Dan's Italian mother, she tried to impress her with some home-cooking, but accidentally picked the wrong herb from the garden and put Lavender in the potatoes.
