Pregnant Charlotte Crosby hires security after being rushed to hospital amid burglary ordeal

PREGNANT Charlotte Crosby has hired security after being rushed to hospital amid her burglary ordeal.

Charlotte, 34, and fiance Jake Ankers' family home in Sunderland was broken into while they were inside on Thursday night.

Jake, 33, revealed on his Instagram story that a gang of masked robbers armed with machetes stormed inside their stunning mansion.

Now, the pair - who are proud parents of two-year-old daughter Alba - have taken extra measures to make sure that they are free from danger.

A source said: “It’s been a horrible week for them.

"What happened really shook them up and Charlotte doesn’t feel safe at home.

"They’ve hired close protection security for the house.

“Charlotte’s pregnant so keeping her, the baby and their daughter safe is the priority.

"They are taking no chances.”

The Sun contacted Charlotte's rep for comment.

Just days after their scary ordeal, mum-to-be Charlotte was rushed to hospital this morning, where it was revealed this afternoon that she had a urine infection.

The Geordie Shore star posted some pictures of her medicine while in the car on the way home on her Snapchat story.

Charlotte said: "Thank the lord I have answers for the pain I was in.

"Urine infection my little baby girl is all well strong and healthy!"

This morning Jake posted a snap of the star lying down on a bed hooked to wires wrapped around her stomach.

He said: "We are not having a good week!!!

"Now Charlotte has been rushed in to hospital as she is having serious pains in her stomach, they are running all the necessary checks to make sure Charlotte and baby are ok."

He added: "Thank you once again to everyone that reached out about Thursday night, we really do appreciate it!

"Huge love to our community where we live also your support has been fantastic."

Charlotte also shared how the burgulary has gotten to her and how she's been coping, just hours before seeking medical assistance.

She said on her Snapchat story: "Guys I honestly don't even know where to start with what's been going on in the last 48 hours.

"Words can't even describe the fear we have been living in! I never in my life want to go through that ever again!

"I don't even want to relive it."

The pair moved into the mansion three years ago.

Charlotte regularly posts snaps which shows off her stunning abode on social media.

On Thursday night Jake revealed he tried to chase the thugs outside their house but failed to nab them after the horror ordeal.

Speaking on an Instagram story, Jake said: "I can't believe I'm saying this but some little c**** tried to rob my house with my two-year-old and my partner who is nearly eight months pregnant, armed with a machete.

"I am f****** amazed I chased all four of them but I could not catch them. If anyone has got any information please message me immediately.

"One of them was wearing a red balaclava."
