A shopping assistant is said to have tailed her at the store before asking to look in her bag at the exit.

She had a gold watch and large ring on as she held the bag open for inspection by a female guard.

Dame Emma, wearing a light grey hat and dark jumper, laughed it off but did not look happy as she left.

She was seen clutching a bag from the retailer earlier this week.
