Charlotte Crosby, the beloved reality star and former Geordie Shore participant, has recently shared the traumatic experience of her home being invaded by armed assailants. The horrifying incident, which took place last November, is set to feature prominently in her new series aptly titled Charlotte’s New Baby, premiering on Paramount+ on March 4.
During this harrowing event, four masked men broke to her £1 million home where she was upstairs heavily pregnant with her second child. With her two-year-old daughter Alba also present, Charlotte found herself facing one of the most terrifying moments of her life. "The worst thing that's ever happened, happened to us," she tearfully recounted during the trailer for her new show, capturing the raw emotions of the ordeal and her emotional state post-incident.
Charlotte's fiancé, Jake Ankers, expressed his shock and anger through his Instagram account. "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," he lamented. Jake reported chasing after the robbers but was unable to catch them; instilling feelings of helplessness and fear. His post vividly recounts the fears of having his family threatened, showcasing the emotional toll such incidents can take on families.
After the invasion, Charlotte spoke to MailOnline about the continuing emotional repercussions of the incident. She admitted, "There’s lots of things...that are quite heavily featured, which I’ve never spoken about...because obviously, it’s police matters." The trauma they faced has led to increased security measures at their home, and Charlotte confidently stated, "I now have the BEST security in the northeast with man guards, security dogs and 24/7 surveillance," underscoring the pressing need for safety after experiencing such fear.
Her mature handling of such situations resonates strongly with viewers, and as she prepares to reveal her family’s experience over the coming months, fans anticipate how she will tackle this trauma through her series. Charlotte, who welcomed her second daughter, Pixi Cecilia Ankers, earlier this year, shared, "This show was there 24/7 whilst all this was going on, so there’s lots – there’s so much in every single episode and there’s only four episodes. So, like, you’re kind of not going to want it to end." This sentiment highlights her commitment to honestly presenting her life’s high and low points.
Since the incident, Charlotte’s mother has temporarily moved in to provide support as Jake continues with his busy schedule. Reflections of gratitude are evident as Charlotte expressed, "My mum’s having a couple of nights at mine... and I couldn’t be more thankful for all of her help the past couple of weeks." This familial essence throughout her hardships adds emotional depth to her story, showcasing the strong support system surrounding her and her children.
This traumatic experience has unfolded against the backdrop of Charlotte's new family life as she navigates parenthood with two young children. The series promises not only to detail the aftershock of the invasion but also to share joyful moments, providing fans with both emotional and uplifting content. The trailer also hints at her engaging with friends and family about her experiences during this tumultuous time, offering themes of resilience, love, and strength.
Charlotte's fans are eager to see how she balances these challenges and successes within her new show. The aim isn't just to entertain but to create awareness about issues of safety and emotional well-being. Since making her television debut on Geordie Shore, Charlotte has grown significantly as both an individual and a parent, showing vulnerabilities and strengths alike to her audience.
The freshly launched show will explore more than just her home experiences; it intends to encompass the broader realities of being pregnant and managing family life with all its complications. Charlotte's candidness about filming her C-section during Alba's birth — "It was actually really fun last time. We had a playlist," she shared — reflects her openness to share intimate life experiences with her viewers.
Charlotte's emotional resilience shines through as she is faced with the realities of having her home invaded. Through social media and her new show, she provides followers with inside glimpses of overcoming fears and challenges as she embarks on this new chapter, anchoring hope and connection with others who may face similar experiences.
