Pregnant Charlotte Crosby in hospital as she admits 'struggle' after horror burglary

Charlotte Crosby has revealed she is in hospital just days after she was the victim of a horror attempted burglary. The former Geordie Shore star - who is eight months pregnant with her second child - was taken to hospital after suffering 'serious pains in her stomach'.

It comes after she was the victim of a shocking attempted burglary earlier this week. Charlotte had been at her Sunderland home with her fiance Jake Ankers and their two-year-old daughter Alba when they were targeted by the would-be thieves.

Taking to social media today, Charlotte told fans that she is currently in hospital but insisted that her baby is fine. The TV star went on to admit that she has been 'struggling' in the wake of the burglary ordeal.

The alleged crime has forced her to put a hold on plans she had for her clothing brand Pepper Girls Club. It has 'crippled' her Black Friday plans for the brand, she said.

On her Instagram stories, Charlotte told how she felt she had recently suffered 'misfortune after misfortune'. She said: "Can't believe all my plans for our huge Black Friday activation have been crippled!

"As I'm typing this I'm laid in hospital. Baby is all fine, thank you for all the messages. But I was meant to be at work today!"

She added: "This month has been misfortune after misfortune. I want to thank you all for your kind messages about the break in the other night.

"Still something I'm struggling to come to terms with and after terrible news for my business, I really wanted to go all out for Black Friday.

Jake also shared a picture of Charlotte lying on a hospital bed to his Instagram story. The 33-year-old said: "We are not having a good week!!!

"Now Charlotte has been rushed in to hospital as she is having serious pains in her stomach, they are running all the necessary checks to make sure Charlotte and baby are ok. Thank you once again to everyone that reached out about Thursday night, we really do appreciate it!

"Huge love to our community where we live also your support has been fantastic." Durham Police previously said suspects left Charlotte's home before officers arrived.

No-one was injured and no items were believed to have been taken.
