Faryal posted to her Snapchat saying how the pair are at the police station reporting that Khan's phone had been targeted.

She said: "My husbands phone has gotten hacked and there a lot of personal information on the phone.

"So this sick person was messaging me from my husband's phone whilst he was in meetings, pretending to be him and I thought it was my husband.

"We are going to trace who's behind this all, so that's why I'm at the police station.

"I'm OK and Amir's OK, but we're just going to find out who's trying to do this, who's got in through the phone and his Snapchat."

Faryal, 25, last December accused her husband's family of "bullying" her and claims her "evil, hating sister-in-law" even tried to HIT her.

The Pakistani-American born model has been locked in a war of words with her in-laws, claiming she "doesn't give a s*** about them".

Faryal and Khan got married in May 31, 2013.

It is believed Olympic silver medallist Khan's long-rumoured sex tape was leaked online shortly after the pair tied the knot.

Faryal initially said she was "absolutely disgusted" by the X-rated clip.

Since then, the couple put on a united front during an appearance on ITV's This Morning.

Khan said: "I love my wife, and I love my family. The marriage is brilliant, it’s going really well.

“Everything is fine between with us.”

While Faryal added: “It’s just the past that’s coming back to try and bring us down.

“But our focus is now the next fight.”
