Natasha Bedingfield's laptop stolen

Natasha Bedingfield has had her laptop containing new songs stolen from Heathrow Airport.

The music and lyrics are worth millions to the star who has just had a No1 hit with These Words.

The laptop went missing from baggage she had as she returned from holiday.

Uncut work from her debut album Unwritten - released last week - was also stored on the machine.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: "We can confirm a female has reported the theft of a laptop computer at Heathrow Airport. No arrests have been made and inquiries are continuing."

The singer's record company BMG was said to be in a state of panic over the missing material.

A source said "Natasha thought the computer would be safe in her luggage. But when she opened the suitcase she found it was missing - she's devastated."

A music industry source mentioned "She is the biggest name to hit the charts in years. The material on that computer could be worth millions."
