The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs was left shaken when she returned home to find burglars had “completely trashed” her £1.7million home. The ITV star was on holiday with husband Billy Delbosq, 43, and their children. The 36-year-old is the latest celebrity victim to be targeted after Megan McKenna and Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright’s homes were also broken into.
A representative for Amy confirmed the burglary, telling The Sun: “Amy and her family returned from holiday to find that thieves had broken into her home and completely trashed the place. She’s absolutely heartbroken. She is just grateful that she and the kids were away when it happened, because it would have been terrifying if they had been there when the burglars came.

“She can’t even bear to think about that but it’s still left her shaken. At the moment, she isn’t sure exactly what’s been taken as the place is totally wrecked and police have been there along with forensics. It’s a total nightmare and really freaked her out.”
Amy’s representative added to the Daily Express: “She doesn’t want to comment too much. They are devastated but thank god everyone is ok.”
It is understood that the police have been in touch and no one was hurt.
The incident came after former TOWIE star Megan’s former UK home was broken into by machete-wielding intruders.
The 33-year-old admitted this was the reason she moved to Germany as she spoke on the Great Company With Jamie Laing podcast on Tuesday.
She said: “I don’t talk about this with a lot of people because I was worried and scared at the time because people were in prison for it, and when there was a trial going on, so I wasn’t able to talk about it.”
Megan added: “I was robbed really badly in my own home. It scared me so much to be in the UK, and to live in the UK on my own because obviously Ollie is in Germany.”
She recalled that one of the burglars grabbed her hand and took jewellery from her, while she ended up cutting her foot.
The mum-of-one recounted: “There was blood everywhere. It was like a bloody murder scene, and then I’m standing naked, and they just left with nothing, with nothing else.”
