Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby's home raided by masked gang armed with machete as she lay upstairs with daughter

Charlotte Crosby's home was invaded by burglars while she was upstairs with her daughter, her fiancé has claimed.

The Geordie Shore star, who is currently eight months pregnant, was in the house with her two year old Alba when a group of masked intruders entered their property.

Jake Ankers revealed the horrifying incident, stating: "I can't believe I'm saying this but some little c***s have tried to rob my house with my two-year-old and my partner who is nearly eight months pregnant, armed with a machete."

He chased the four culprits out of the house but was unable to apprehend them. Jake continued: "One of them who was in the house at the top of the stairs had a red balaclava on. He is the one that had the machete. Me little girl's in the house. Me partner's in the house."

The 33-year-old appealed to his Instagram followers for any information.

Charlotte and Jake moved into their shared home in 2021, a luxurious property reportedly worth over £1million which they renovated. In September, they announced they are expecting their second child, reports the Mirror.

Alongside the pregnancy announcement, Charlotte also launched a new collection for her fashion brand Pepper Girls Club. She posted: "In my babies and business ERA. Delighted to announce baby Ankers number 2 is due January 2025 and also delighted to announce @peppergirlsclub AW collection is live now RIGHT NOW! ! ! ! ".

She expressed her joy, saying: "I really wanted to combine these 2 moments as everything I've been building with Pepper over the last few years is for my family and I'm so proud of it! ! We are so excited to be a family of 4! " A month on, the couple shared the news that they're expecting a baby girl. While holidaying in the Maldives, Jake posted a video on Instagram where they revealed the gender by cutting into a cake that had pink inside.

He humorously captioned it: "Ahhh s**t, here we go again! " Charlotte also shared her excitement, commenting: "Possibly the best photo I've ever seen here we go babbbbyyyyyyyyyy. GIRL MOM."

The engagement came last November, just a year after they welcomed their first child. In an interview with the Mirror, she was convinced she'd have a boy.

She said: "I've had a boy vibe from the beginning. I just woke up one day and thought, 'I'm having a boy'. I can't wait to have this baby - and now I'm at 21 weeks, I can finally talk about it!"

She continued: "If I do have a boy, I'm going to be so excited to see Jake's reaction because he would absolutely love to have a boy. He has wished for this all of his life - he would just want a little boy to be able to take to football and do all of the boy things with. So if we have a boy, I'd be so happy for Jake."

Charlotte was in disbelief about expecting a baby girl, confessing: "I swear it was a boy. Oh my god, oh Jake I can't believe it."

To which Jake responded with reassurance: "It's fine! ", comforting his partner. Charlotte went on to say: "But I actually really wanted a boy as well. What, how? ".
