Rhian Sugden was left terrified when a gang of masked men tried to break-in to her home.
The 32-year-old glamour model was in shock when she heard three men attempting to enter her £300,000 property in Manchester last Wednesday night (13.05.20) and her husband Oliver Mellor ran downstairs to confront them.
However, the intruders sped off in a white van when Rhian turned on all the lights in the house.
She told The Sun newspaper: "It was the worst experience of my life. Oliver was asleep and I was in bed reading. I heard a strange noise and looked out the window and saw three men wearing masks on my driveway.
"They were creeping about and looking at our garage. When Oliver got outside he saw a van with no lights on driving off down the road."
The former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star called 999 and six police cars turned up explaining burglaries were on the increase because of the lockdown.
However, on Saturday night (16.05.20), Rhian spotted more masked men hovering around her neighbours’ houses and was convinced they were looking for another way into her home.
She tweeted: "3 guys, with masks on, tried to break into my house whilst we where in bed this week. Then 2 more came back yesterday at 6pm & went round the back of the neighbours.
"I’ve convinced myself they where looking for another way into my house… can’t see me sleeping again tbh (sic)."
The terrifying experience comes three years after the former Page 3 model was the victim of a robbery when burglars broke into her home in 2017 and stole £5,000 of electrical goods while she was out.
