EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa has opened up about the terrifying armed robbery that took place at her holiday villa in Marbella.
The Lauren Branning actress, 31, is believed to have lost £20,000 worth of jewellery, including her engagement ring gifted by her husband Dan Osborne.
Now the I’m A Celebrity winner has opened up about the terrifying ordeal and admitted she’s been ‘struggling to sleep.’
‘I opened my eyes to see that our bedroom door was wide open, and I sleep with the door closed,’ she told The Sun.
‘And then I thought, “Why is there torch light coming in through the darkness?”.
Jacqueline and Dan have been holidaying in Spain with their extended families along with daughters Ella, nine and Mia, five – and with Dan’s son Teddy, 10.
After waking up her husband Dan Osborne, Jacqueline ‘frantically’ checked each room to make sure her children were still in bed.
She added: ‘I had to reassure myself, touch them, to make sure they were there.’
‘It wobbles me a bit, because I think it could have been so different as one of the kids could have woken up and seen a man holding something sharp and in a balaclava.
‘And that would have scarred them for life, so as much as it probably has scarred me for life, I’m so grateful it was me rather than them.’
