Pregnant presenter Charlotte Crosby has been rushed to hospital after experiencing “serious pains in her stomach”.
The former Geordie Shore star, 34, and her partner Jake Ankers have faced a traumatic week after machete-wielding robbers broke into their Sunderland home on Thursday.
Mr Ankers shared an update on Instagram on Saturday, revealing that his wife had returned to hospital following the incident.
“Charlotte has been rushed into hospital as she is having serious pains in her stomach,” he wrote. “They are running the necessary checks to make sure she and [the] baby are ok.”
He reportedly chased the four robbers from their £1 million Sunderland property, but was not able to catch them.
On Instagram he added: “I can't believe I'm saying this but some little c***s have tried to rob my house with my two-year-old and my partner who is nearly eight months pregnant, armed with a machete.
“One of them who was in the house at the top of the stairs had a red balaclava on.
“He is the one that had the machete. Me little girl's in the house. My partner's in the house.”
Crosby already has one child and is said to be heavily pregnant with her second.
She said to her followers in a previous post: "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."
Mr Ankers referenced the burglary in his Instagram story on Saturday, stating that it has “not been a good week” for the family.
"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."
Crosby last year starred in reality TV show Charlotte in Sunderland, which gave viewers a glimpse inside her growing family, her social circle, and her professional life.
She starred in Geordie Shore from 2011, before quitting the show last year “for good”.
She is reportedly due to appear in spin-off Geordie Shore: Charlotte's Having Another Baby.
