Charlotte Crosby has given a major update following a terrifying robbery attempt at her home earlier this month.

The Geordie Shore star, 34, who is eight months pregnant, was upstairs with daughter Alba, two, when a gang of balaclava masked raiders entered her £1million Sunderland home.

One of the ᴀssailants were reportedly carrying a machete, with Charlotte’s fiancé Jake Ankers, 34, going on to chase the four robbers out of their home.

And now, Charlotte isn’t taking any chances with her and her family’s safety after admitting that she’s been ‘living in fear’, telling her fans how she’s ‘trebled’ her security.

Taking to her Instagram stories on Monday, the reality star told how ‘huge things were happening’ in her home, as a team from AWI (ᴀsset Watch International) were making major changes to the property in order to keep the family safe. 

Charlotte, who was recently rushed to hospital with stomach pains, wrote: ‘I now have the BEST security in the northeast with man guards, security dogs and 24/7 surveillance.’

She went on to share how she’s been feeling since the ordeal, adding: ‘I’ve been living in fear since last week. Not feeling safe in your own home with small children is really something else. 

‘I’ve been trying my hardest to put what happened out of my head! And I’m sorry for being on here! It’s just took some time dealing with everything that’s gone on and then I was in hospital!’

Meanwhile, Jake also took to his Instagram stories to share his own update, confirming that the couple have majorly updated their security for their own piece of mind.

Alongside a picture of a guard dog, he penned: ‘AWI have been in and secured our property with 24/7 patrol and control adding more cameras and sensors inside and outside our house!

‘It’s crazy we live in a world we have to do this but I can’t thank the team enough for all their help.’ 

On Friday, Jake gave an update amid their ordeal, as he reᴀssured worried fans the former Geordie Shore star and their two-year-old were ‘safe’ and said the police were on the hunt for the ‘nasty’ intruders.

Jake wrote: ‘Thank you for all the messages me and the girls are safe! Very lucky and counting our blessings tonight. 

‘The police are dealing with this now so hopefully they get some results and catch these nasty people.’

On Thursday, the entrepreneur described how he had chased all four of the robbers out of the house, but was unable to catch them as he issued a plea to his followers to send in any information. 

Sharing an furious video to his Instagram, Jake fumed: ‘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.

‘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.’

Charlotte, meanwhile, had said a film crew had been present in the house that day as they filmed their reality TV show. 

Jake Ankers  issued an update on Friday after he revealed the family had been subjected to a terrifying armed robbery at their £1million Sunderland home

Her last Instagram story before the raid was of her relaxing in bed with a face mask on after suffering excruciating back pain and a nose bleed earlier in the day. 

MailOnline has contacted Charlotte’s representative and Sunderland Police for comment. 

The couple moved into the house together in 2021 and renovated the sprawling property which was said to be worth in excess of £1million.

They named the property, which has an indoor pool, bar and cinema, ‘Crosby Manor’. 

In a YouTube video at the time, the reality star showed off her beautiful home renovation which featured double dark wood doors and marble floored lobby.
