Charlotte Crosby breaks silence after machete-wielding burglars raid home

Charlotte Crosby has spoken out following her terrifying home invasion, revealing that she has been hospitalised.

The Geordie Shore star, who is eight months pregnant, was at home with her two year old daughter Alba when the masked intruders broke in. Her fiancé Jake Ankers attempted to chase the four machete-wielding robbers but was unable to apprehend them.

Now, the 34 year old has updated her followers on Instagram, stating that her Black Friday plans have been "crippled" due to the incident, which she admits she's still struggling to process, reports the Mirror.

She confirmed that she is currently in hospital but reassured fans that her unborn baby is unharmed. However, she expressed her frustration over experiencing "misfortune after misfortune" this month.

In her latest Instagram Stories update, Charlotte wrote: "[Two crying face emojis] Can't believe all my plans for our huge Black Friday activation have been crippled! As I'm typing this I'm laid in hospital. Baby is all fine thank you for all the messages!

"But I was meant to be at work today! Getting the message out to you all about our HUGE Black Friday celebration! And showing you all the amazing deals we have on! This month has had misfortune after misfortune. I want to thank you all for your kind messages about the break-in the other night. Still something I'm really struggling to come to terms with."

She then directed her followers to the official Instagram page of her business, Pepper Girls Club, encouraging them to check out its Black Friday promotion, offering discounts of up to 85 per cent. Sharing details of the break-in on Thursday, Jake expressed his disbelief: "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."
