I’m a Celeb’s Joel Dommett has revealed the house he shares with his model wife Hannah Cooper was ransacked while they were out.

The TV personality – whohosted I’m a Celebrity’s Extra Camp alongside Scarlett Moffatt and Joe Swash until it was axed in 2019 – told of how he and Hannah watched helplessly on their security cameras at the home they’ve lived in since tying the knot in 2019.

"After we got married, we finally moved to a new house. We got burgled fairly shortly after we moved in. It was mad," he said.

"It is everyone’s worst fear and it was horrible. We saw on our CCTV camera this guy in our garden, and luckily me and her weren’t in the house, but we saw it and rang the police and drove home.

"It was mad as we saw on the cameras the police arrive and we weren’t sure if the guy had left.
