A source told the publication: ‘It was a traumatic experience for both of them but they are relieved that neither of them were injured.

‘Mark did the sensible thing and stayed with his wife to make sure she was OK and they waited for police to arrive before leaving the room.

‘It was a horrible thing to go through, particularly for someone who is heavily pregnant. They are understandably very shaken up by what happened.’

Detectives reportedly believe the gang were professionals ‘looking for a big score’ on the countryside property’s extensive grounds.

A camera allegedly detected the gang arriving to the house and sent alerts to Mark and Michelle’s phone.

The source added: ‘Mark realised someone was breaking into the house, his first thoughts were for Michelle’s protection and he acted swiftly.’

The jaw-dropping mansion features five bedrooms, bar, cinema room, sauna, a custom-built kitchen, as well as an at-home gym, a five-a-side football pitch or the kitchen.

The happy couple have been together for well over a decade and married in a £1million ceremony in Suffolk in 2015.

Michelle revealed in December she’s pregnant with her first child with former TOWIE star.

In a recent interview with Grazia, Michelle opened up on her husband’s support of her long-distance working, while also revealing plans to take a ‘chunk of time’ from her work commitments to focus on motherhood.

Since marrying, the couple have had periods apart due to filming projects, with Mark spending time over a year in LA as the host of celebrity show Extra.

While Michelle has previously worked on projects in South Africa, Malaysia and Australia for shows including Ten Pound Poms and Our Girl.

She told the publication: ‘I’m going to take a good chunk of time off to enjoy being a mum. I’m never normally at home in the summer, I’ve always been away working, so I can’t wait.’

Michelle has been wrapping work on the seventh series of Brassic before heading on maternity leave.
