Earlier this week, Katie urged robbed footballer Dele Alli to get a protection dog after Spurs star Dele was battered by knife-wielding thieves.

She exclusively told The Sun Online: "After what happened to Dele Alli the other day I feel more than ever the need to up my security.

"I have that in Blade - he sleeps in my room.

"He is the best friend a girl could ever wish for and personal four legged bodyguard to me and my family."

To ensure Katie feels safe and secure and that Blade is at peak performance, Blade was recalled for training at Protection Dog Worldwide this week.
"I will introduce Dele to them, I never feel safer than when Blade is by my side," she added.
A representative for Katie explained: "Katie has received five kidnap threats to date and Blade is Katie's front line of defence - for her and the children.
"Blade has become a vital part of Katie’s life."

The mum-of-five picked up her Alsatian Blade yesterday after she sent him off to get extra protection dog training.

And wasted no time in testing what her pooch has learned as she performed a demonstration with a vicious attacker.

One of the trainers came at her with a baton, and Blade jumped to Katie's defence - biting down on the attacker's arm.

Katie looked impressed with her pet's progress and Blade obeyed her every command.

Katie had first-hand experience of violence after being held at gunpoint in South Africa amid a carjacking.

Katie and two of her children – Princess and Junior – were targeted while filming her reality TV show when they pulled over to the side of the road to go to the toilet.

She later spent time in a ­Priory rehab clinic, where she was diagnosed with PTSD.

And after a series of kidnap threats, the 41-year-old got guard dog Blade last year after revealing her family were scared.

At the time she told fans: “Meet Blade our new family protection dog @protectiondogworldwide doing our first training session together this morning!

“I will feel safer and so will Princess as she still suffers from the hijack at gun point we had in South Africa when filming last year.”

Yesterday, Katie urged robbed footballer Dele Alli to get a protection dog.

Spurs star Dele was battered by knife-wielding thieves who burst in as the ace played pool with his girlfriend and brother at his £2million home.

They got away with watches and jewellery worth thousands of pounds.

Mum-of-five Katie has offered Dele advice to avoid further danger - by buying a protection dog like her.

She said: "Just picked up my boy from @protectiondogworldwide. After a few weeks of refreshing him as a protection guard dog.

"@dele you need to get a dog from here, they will ensure your safety."

Cops are still hunting for the thugs who escaped from footballer Dele’s £2million home on Wednesday.

Three prized timepieces worth at least £350,000 were swiped in a terrifying raid - but his Premier League friends have hatched a plan to stop his stolen watches from being sold on.

They have alerted their watch dealers, and say they will let him know if anyone is offering anything suspicious.
