Little Mix star Perrie Edwards and her fiancé were burgled while at home with their baby.
The offenders broke into their £3.5m Cheshire mansion this week while the couple, who have a baby son, were at home, and stole jewellery and designer handbags, according to The Sun. Sources say the incident has left Perrie and her footballer fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, both 29, "terrified" for their safety and "heartbroken" over the goods taken.
A friend said: "It’s just the most violating thing — to think that someone has been all over their belongings before they even realised what was happening is so upsetting." The source added that the house is the pair's "dream home" and they love their life there, but now it feels "tarnished".

They said the pair are determined to get on with their lives, and will take steps to ensure their home is secure. Cheshire Police confirmed to The Sun that officers were called to a burglary at 10.45pm on Tuesday. A spokesman said: "The offenders have broken into the home stealing jewellery and handbags while the occupants were inside."
Alex and South Shields -born Perrie welcomed son Axel in August last year, buying the property, which sits in an exclusive area, a year before that, reports The Mirror. Their neighbours are said to include Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United defender Raphael Varane. The Mirror has approached both Alex and Perrie's reps for comment, and Cheshire Police.
In August Perrie and Alex threw Axel a birthday party, with the singer sharing photos from the event, which featured a balloon arch, gigantic animal figures and a wildlife themed cake. Alex proposed to The X Factor winner during an idyllic holiday in June.
Posting a photo of her diamond ring on Instagram, Perrie wrote: "Last night the love of my life got down on one knee and I said… YES!"
