Mark Wright and his pregnant wife Michelle Keegan enjoy lunch date as couple put on a brave face following terrifying burglary

Mark Wright and his wife Michelle Keegan appeared to put on a brave face on Friday as they headed on a lunch date together after their terrifying burglary. 

The former TOWIE star, 38, and actress Michelle, 37, who are expecting their first child together, reportedly locked themselves in a bedroom when ‘four masked raiders broke into their £3.5million mansion around 6pm’ at their home in EsSєx on Tuesday.

However the pair were all smiled as they shared a rare snap together while out for lunch at the White Horse in East Runton. 

Beaming in the snap, Michelle covered her blossoming bump with a simple white shirt while Mark also kept it casual in a sandy Gucci hoody as he sipped his Guinness. 

Sharing snaps of their food, Mark also treated himself to a cocktail before the pair dug in to delicious looking plates of steak, truffle fries and a pizza. 

Mark and Michelle were said to be ‘very shaken up’ following the burglary early this week after they allegedly heard their patio window smash and their security alarm go off before rushing to a bedroom for safety.

It is reported four suspects entered their sprawling property for around a minute but hurried away when Mark started yelling.

According to The Sun, police were alerted via their ‘state-of-the-art security system and arrived at the couple’s EsSєx mansion within minutes’.

The gang of raiders were reportedly ‘wearing balaclavas and dressed in black fled the scene empty-handed in a getaway car’.

A source told the publication: ‘It was a traumatic experience for both of them but they are relieved that neither of them were injured. 

‘Mark did the sensible thing and stayed with his wife to make sure she was OK and they waited for police to arrive before leaving the room. 

‘It was a horrible thing to go through, particularly for someone who is heavily pregnant. They are understandably very shaken up by what happened.’

Detectives reportedly believe the gang were professionals ‘looking for a big score’ on the countryside property’s extensive grounds.

A camera allegedly detected the gang arriving to the house and sent alerts to Mark and Michelle’s phone.

The source added: ‘Mark realised someone was breaking into the house, his first thoughts were for Michelle’s protection and he acted swiftly.’ 

The TOWIE star and his actress wife moved into their stunning home just over two years ago, after purchasing the property in 2019 for £1.3million.

Meanwhile Mark made a big career announcement on Thursday, just days after the burglary as it was announced he is set to host a brand new breakfast show on Heart Radio alongside Olly Murs.

The singer, 40, will join his good friend and long-time Heart Radio presenter Mark for a brand new Saturday Breakfast show, which is set to kick off on March 1. 

The show will air from 9am – 12pm, which is a switch-up from Mark’s usual afternoon slot. 

Sharing his excitement at the new venture, the TV and radio star said: ‘It’s not every day that you get to work with your mate, and I just can’t wait for Olly to join Heart. 

‘I just know our listeners are going to love listening to Olly every Saturday morning, and we promise to bring you all the good laughs, fun and banter!’

Meanwhile, Olly added: ‘I’m absolutely buzzing to be sharing my Saturday mornings with Wrighty and the Heart listeners. They’ve actually given us our own radio show – can you believe it?! 

‘We have such a laugh off air, so I know we’ll have a great time doing this together. Expect plenty of banter, big entertainment, and obviously a bit of healthy compeтιтion. Can’t wait!!’
