Actress Jacqueline Jossa Breaks Silence On Spain Robbery!
Jacqueline Jossa and her family are going through some of the most difficult days after a burglary took place in their holiday home in Spain. According to the EastEnders legend, she was terrified after waking up to see two masked raiders shining torches in rooms and rummaging through her belongings. The thieves stole £20,000 worth of jewellery and money from the Marbella villa.
While speaking to The Sun about his tragedy, the 31-year-old mentioned that her bedroom door was wide open, and she always sleeps with a closed door. She then noticed a torch light coming in through the darkness, and when she started to investigate, the intruders quickly left the house. In the home raid, the robbers took Jossa’s engagement ring, cash, and designer clothes.
When the intruders were going through their stuff, at that point, she believed that one of the robbers had also snatched one of her children as they fled the scene. Jossa shed light on this situation and told the outlet, “I was trembling and couldn’t really speak as I was the most scared I’ve ever been in my life and instantly thought, ‘Oh my God! The kids! Did he have a child in his hand? Did I see a little girl’s leg?’ I couldn’t think straight and was panicking.”

The soap star felt a sense of relief that her husband took this call. It seems like the soap opera actors have tragic and dramatic events taking place in their lives off-screen as well.
