JLS star JB Gill has opened up a year on from the terrifying home raid which left him in hospital.
The singer's farm was targeted by criminals in November 2020 at 3am when his wife, Chloe Tangney, 33, was threatened with a knife.
The star, 35 has talked about the ordeal just over a year on when their £1.5m home in Kent was raided by four thugs in the middle of the night.
Talking about what his wife, son Ace, seven, and daughter Chiara, three have been going through over the last year, JB said they've tended to avoid talking about what happened.
He told the Daily Mail : "We've not spoken about it much in public on purpose. But, we are taking each day as it comes.
"We just really want to protect our children. Our family is very important to us and it underpins everything that we do."
The family now have more security on the property to ensure it doesn't happen again.
During the raid JB was sprayed in the face by the robbers before being taken to hospital along with Chloe being threatened by a knife before the gang fled with valuables.
At the time they'd hoped to keep details of the event private in order to keep their children safe.
The former X Factor finalist and his wife first moved into the farmhouse back in 2012 but back then having a working farm wasn't part of their plans.
He said when they first purchased the house it came with around 13 acres of land, but JB explained 'that's small when it comes to farming'.
JB's plan wasn't to go into farming but it didn't last long as he bought his first pig Ginger and now they've got multiple pigs as well as turkeys, which he describes as a 'huge passion' of his.
But it isn't always smooth sailing on their farm, especially with the pigs.
JB admitted that one he has to spend four hours rounding the pigs back up when they'd escaped from their pen.
One time he had CBeebies over to his home for a big meeting when he received a call half way through saying some of his pigs had ran away.
They'd managed to get out of their pen and ended up being in a neighbour's field, ending up with fours hours of rounding them back up.
Despite coming from a showbiz career, JB thinks his love for farming goes back to when he was growing up in Antigua, which is where he lived up until he was five years old before he moved to South London.
He said: "I have great memories of being in Antigua. One of the reasons why the farm came about was because my dad kept horses.
"There's always that affinity in island nations of self-sufficiency and growing your own, understanding and knowledge of knowing where your food comes from."
