Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby's home has  been targeted by a gang of thieves armed with a machete as she lay upstairs with her two-year-old daughter, her fiancé has claimed.

Charlotte who is currently eight months pregnant, was in the house with her two year old Alba when a group of masked intruders entered their Sunderland home, it is alleged.

Her partner Jake Ankers broke the news on Instagram saying: "I can't believe I'm saying this but some little ***** 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 said he had chased the four culprits out of the house, but was unable to hold them.

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. My little girl's in the house. My partner's in the house."

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

Charlotte and Jake moved into their shared home in 2021, reportedly worth over £1million and in September, they announced they are expecting their second child.

Charlotte, who is from Sunderland, also launched a new collection for her fashion brand Pepper Girls Club.

She told followers: "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! ! ! ! 

"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."
