Fearful EastEnders actor thought kids were kidnapped during robbery.

Jacqueline Jossa, known for her role as Lauren Branning on the popular soap EastEnders, recently shared her harrowing experience of being a victim of an armed robbery at her holiday villa in Marbella. The 31-year-old actress, who was on vacation with her husband Dan Osborne and their extended families, lost an estimated £20,000 worth of jewelry, including her engagement ring from Dan.

In an interview with The Sun, Jacqueline, who also won the reality show I'm A Celebrity, revealed how the terrifying ordeal has affected her. "I've been struggling to sleep," she admitted. She recalled waking up to find her bedroom door wide open, which was unusual as she always slept with it closed. But what really scared her was the sight of torchlight coming through the darkness. "It's something you never want to experience," she said.

Jacqueline and Dan were on holiday with their two daughters, Ella and Mia, ages nine and five, and Dan's son Teddy, age 10. A source close to the couple shared that they were both shaken by the incident. After waking up her husband, Jacqueline checked every room of the villa frantically, making sure her children were safe in their beds. "I had to reassure myself, touch them, to make sure they were there," she explained.

The thought that one of her children could have woken up and seen the intruder with a sharp object and a balaclava still haunts her. "It could have been so different," she said, her voice trembling with emotion. "As much as it has scarred me, I'm grateful that it was me and not my children." She added that the incident has made her realize the importance of home security and the safety of her family.

The Agency reached out to Jacqueline's representatives for a comment on the incident. It is clear that the robbery has left a lasting impact on the actress, but she remains grateful that her family is safe. Jacquline and Dan are now back in the UK, but the memories of their holiday in Marbella will always be tainted by this terrifying experience.
