Charlotte Crosby’s home was targeted by machete-wielding thieves as she lay upstairs with her daughter. The Geordie Shore star – who is eight months pregnant – was with her two-year-old girl Alba when the horror incident took place.
Her fiance Jake Ankers claimed a gang of masked thugs entered their home, reports the Mirror. He said he chased the four thugs out of the house but was unable to catch them.
Opening up on the horrifying ordeal, Jake said: “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 added: “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 prompted his Instagram followers to share any information on the incident with him. Charlotte and Jake moved into their home together in 2021.
The pair renovated the impressive property, which was said to be worth in excess of £1million. Back in September, the pair announced they are expecting their second child.
As well as sharing the news of the pregnancy, Charlotte announced a new collection for her fashion brand Pepper Girls Club. She wrote in her post: “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 added: “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 later, the couple announced they are set to welcome a baby girl.
Taking to Instagram while on holiday in the Maldives, Jake shared a video as they held up a cake and cut into it – which showed pink inside. He joked online: “Ahhh s**t, here we go again!” While Charlotte commented: “Possibly the best photo I’ve ever seen here we go babbbbyyyyyyyyyy. GIRL MOM.”
The pair got engaged last November, one year after welcoming their first baby. In an exclusive chat with the Mirror, the TV star insisted she was going to have a baby 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 added: “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 couldn’t believe she was going to have a baby girl as she admitted: “I swear it was a boy. Oh my god, oh Jake I can’t believe it.” Jake replied: “It’s fine!”, as he consoled his wife. Charlotte continued: “But I actually really wanted a boy as well. What, how?”
