Olivia Attwood reveals thieves tried to break in while she is away on holiday as she warns them 'we've got your fingerprints'
The TV presenter, 34, shared how she 'pays through the nose for private security', who arrived within two minutes to try and apprehend the burglars.
Olivia was targetted while out of the country, however her security system seemingly outsmarted the criminals who tried to gain entry to the £1million property.
Throughout the night on Wednesday, Olivia shared with her followers that they had experienced an attempted break-in and warned the thieves she had their details.
Sharing what had happened, Olivia said: 'That's why we pay through the nose for private security. On site in 2 minutes with dog team and the incredible nw police force not far behind.
'We saw your face, we have your foot prints and finger prints. And sorry what you were looking for isn't actually kept at the property.'
Olivia has lived in the home with her footballer husband Bradley Dack and their two dogs, Lola and Stitch, since 2022.
The star has shown fans inside her houses since 2020 when she began filming docu-series Olivia Meets Her Match about her relationship and homelife with Brad.
This fresh blow comes as Olivia hit back at backlash over her upcoming gig on This Morning after cruel trolls insisted it 'wouldn't work'.
Olivia, who is a regular Loose Women panellist, is joining the This Morning team as a summer host in the coming weeks.
While she's built a successful career fronting multiple ITV documentaries and reality shows, the news of Olivia's new slot didn't go down a hit with some fans.
Traditionalists went as far as threatening they'll 'definitely stop watching' if Olivia joins the morning show.
But ITV's golden girl Olivia has assured she is determined to succeed in the new gig and prove the haters wrong.
She exclusively told The Sun: 'Those who know me understand the hard work I've put in to get where I am today.
'I'm forever grateful to Love Island for being the springboard to my career, but I'm excited to show there's so much more to me beyond the villa.
'It's been a lot of hard work, but I've always stayed focused on my goals and believed in myself and I'm very thankful for ITV in believing me.'
Other stars who are fronting This Morning this summer include Sian Welby, Dermot O'Leary, Emma Willis, Josie Gibson, Rochelle Humes, Joel Dommett, Craig Doyle, and Andi Peters.
Recently Olivia hit out at the 'stigma' of being the partner of a successful sportsman, insisting she funds her own lavish lifestyle and has worked 'relentlessly' since being catapulted to fame when she left the Love Island villa in 2017.
She became a bona fide WAG when she tied the knot with footballer Bradley Dack in a lavish central London ceremony in the summer of 2023.
The TV personality dated Bradley, 31, prior to entering the ITV reality show and he was already a footballer playing for League Two team Gillingham FC.
Olivia slammed 'gold digger' claims and said it doesn't matter what job her husband has because she works 'seven days a week'.
She told MailOnline: 'I think people are like, "She works seven days a week, surely she's got some f*****g cash".
Many rushed to social media when it was announced to share their thoughts on the news - and it received a mixed back of comments
But ITV's golden girl Olivia has assured she is determined to succeed in the new gig and prove the haters wrong
'Maybe in the beginning when Brad and I first started dating, there was a bit of a stigma around it [dating someone who plays sport for a living].
'And people can kind of go, "Oh", a bit of an eye roll and stupid comments like, "Oh my gosh she's with him cos he plays football".
'I've got my own money, so it doesn't really matter what he does for a job.'
Straight-talking Olivia shot to fame thanks to her stint in the Love Island villa in the summer of 2017, which saw her reach the show final with her ex-boyfriend Chris Hughes, 32, who she dated until February 2018.
The former grid girl has since become a household name and a regular face on TV, appearing on The Only Way Is Essex, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, This Morning and Loose Women.
Olivia has also fronted many of her own shows and presented Bad Boyfriends, Getting Filthy Rich and The Price Of Perfection - admitting she has 'bitten the hands off' TV executives for 'big jobs, little jobs, whatever I could get'.
But this success did not come overnight and she told how she 'grafted' when she left the villa while working relentlessly to get where she is today.
Olivia told MailOnline: 'Post Love Island, I knew where I wanted to be. I knew I wanted to stay working in television, and I was very dedicated to that, and everything I've done is working towards that bigger goal.
'I've been very patient and I've learnt the craft, I'm still learning, I've taken the big jobs, the little jobs, whatever I could get, I just bite their hand off for it.'
'Relentlessly pursuing that bigger goal and I'm working really hard at it, it doesn't come overnight', she added.
'Even when you get a big platform like Love Island, you still need to prove yourself to people.
'I think sometimes people become impatient off the back of reality shows, but these kind of things, they don't happen overnight, you have to stick with it. It takes graft.'
Olivia has enjoyed the spoils of a lavish lifestyle thanks to her lucrative television career and is regularly seen toting around Chanel and Hermes handbags.
She has also enjoyed many luxurious trips throughout the years - in the last nine weeks she has been seen in France, Miami and Ibiza.
In her popular TV documentary, Price Of Perfection, Olivia was very candid about her own cosmetic tweakments and confessed she spends a 'couple of grand a month' maintaining her image.

Loose Women sex tape panic as Coleen Nolan and Nadia Sawalha targeted by scammers who threaten to leak clips of them 'enjoying some alone time'
Loose Women panellists Coleen Nolan and Nadia Sawalha have opened up about being targeted by scammers who threatened to leak intimate videos of them 'enjoying some alone time.' Speaking on the ITV panel show, the pair candidly revealed the terrifying ordeals they had been subjected to by fraudsters trying to extort money from them. The topic of sex extortion has been circulating in recent weeks, as evidence emerges that sex scammers drive teenagers to take their own lives out of fear of what would happen if their intimate photos were leaked. Actress and TV personality Nadia Sawalha shared that she received a 'sextortion' email just days earlier, beginning crudely: 'Hello pervert.' The 60-year-old said: 'The email read "We have all the videos of you having a happy time - giving yourself some alone time." 'And I thought, "I don't think I have any videos of that." But then I felt fear again because, with deep fakes, could there be?' 'Deep fakes' are videos of a person in which their face or body has been digitally altered so they appear to be someone else. For example, someone's face could be digitally applied to the body of someone else performing a sex act - although the innocent party had no involvement at all. 'I felt anxious,' Nadia continued. 'I'm a 60-year-old woman who's listened to countless podcasts about this. 'I know the information, I've read stuff about it, I've read terrifying stories about children killing themselves.' She added: 'Because I had all that information, by the time I got to the end of the email, I simply deleted the email because I knew that this was a phishing expedition.' In the modern dating era, the panellists said, it is not uncommon for youngsters to share sexual photos or videos with their partners - meaning they are much more susceptible to such scams. Singer Coleen Nolan, also 60, revealed she had 'the exact same' experience around 18 months ago. Coleen explained how panic set in when she realised someone could have hacked her phone. 'Reading down, it said, "We've got all your videos and what you've done." I was just like, "Please can you send them to me, I'd be interested in seeing them as I've never made one in my life." 'But it was horrendous,' she added, while Nadia said: 'You do feel panicked, don't you?' Coleen continued: 'I knew I hadn't made the videos but had they hacked into my phone? Were they going to lie on that? 'They said they were going to send it to my family and my work and kids. I did click in and then I deleted it.' The discussion follows a powerful Channel 4 documentary titled Hunting My Sextortion Scammer, which sees Rizzle Kicks musician Jordan Stephens fly thousands of miles to confront a fraudster. The 33-year-old, who is one half of the pop duo alongside Harley Alexander-Sule, also 33, 'gets himself sextorted' to expose the tactics criminals use to sexually blackmail young British men and boys. He tracks down his blackmailer and attempts to confront them. In an exclusive clip obtained by MailOnline, the music star tries to keep his cool as he has a calm conversation with his scammer on the phone via Instagram. Jordan tells viewers: 'It sounds like my sextorter is getting more and more wound up,' as the camera zooms in on their conversation on the social media app. The scammer messages him: 'Show me your account now,' to which Jordan replies: 'No, I've already paid.' The sextorter tells Jordan: 'No, is not working bro' alongside three angry face emojis. Moments later the singer gets a call and answers with: 'Hello.' The scammer replies: 'Let tell you something now. I swear down with my life if you don't even try to understand me, I swear down, I'll destroy your life. 'It's better you get me $200 now.' Jordan replies: 'I gave it to you! I gave it to you!' He then tells viewers: 'I need my sextorter to believe he'll get his money if he clicks on that share location link on our fake gift card site.' The scammer says: 'I don't know how to redeem it. Do you want me to destroy your life?' Jordan tells him in a panic: 'I don't have any more money. You put the code in.' 'It's not working, I swear down,' the fraudster says. 'I've done it several times. It's not working. 'You should redeem the card at your place and then send me $200 back. Then I free you!'

Moment actor who played PC Reg Hollis in The Bill turns real-life crimefighter to foil runaway thief before handing him over to real police
This is the incredible moment the actor who played PC Reg Hollis in The Bill turns into a real-life crimefighter to foil a runaway thief before handing him over to the real police. Footage has captured Jeff Stewart, best known for playing the legendary role of PC Reg Hollis in The Bill, assisting Hampshire police officers in arresting a shoplifter in Southampton on Wednesday, July 23. Two members of the force are initially seen chasing after 29-year-old Mohammed Diallo as he exited a Co-op supermarket in Southampton with his bike. While the thief initially manages to get on his bike, he eventually falls off, with officers quickly tackling him to the ground in a car park as he desperately tries to escape their grip. Then, Mr Stewart, who starred in over 900 episodes of the hit ITV drama from its inception in 1984 until he left in 2008, proceeds to sprint across to assist police with the shoplifter, helping to sit on his legs as officers arrest him. As an officer turns to the Scottish actor to thank him, Mr Stewart, 69, is heard saying in response: 'Well, I was in The Bill for 24 years'. One bewildered officer then replies: 'Amazing! Were you? Can we have a photo with you after?' Following the incident, Hampshire Police praised the quick-thinking assistance of Mr Stewart, with a force spokesman remarking: 'Long since retired from Sun Hill station - but he's still got it!'

But, to their surprise, they had some special assistance - 'local TV legend Jeff Stewart - who played PC Hollis for 24 years in The Bill - came to their aid by sitting on the suspect's legs while officers put him in cuffs.'
