Megan McKenna robbed by machete thugs who broke into home & ripped ring from finger as she begged for her life
MEGAN McKenna was violently attacked in her own home by three machete wielding thugs who tore her jewellery off her hand as she begged them not to kill her.
The three men left the TV star fleeing the UK for Germany with her now husband, Union Berlin footballer Oliver Burke.
Megan, who is mum to 22-month-old Landon, reveals she confronted the robbers after they used a baseball bat to break into her locked bedroom and pleaded with them to leave.
Speaking on Jamie Laing’s Good Company podcast, Megan said: “I was robbed really badly in my own home.”
The incident happened in 2024, with the men going on trial last year.
Opening up about the robbery, Megan said to sleep alone in her home in London while Oliver was away in Germany.

Megan, 33, explained: “I must have fallen asleep within the first 15 minutes.
“I woke up to my whole house shaking. I was such a disorientated mess.
“They were inside my house, but I lock my bedroom door every night because I always worry about something happening to me when I’m on my own.
“The next thing I know, my mirror has come off my wall, and they’re hacking a hole through my wall with a baseball bat.
“They’re three masked men with machetes and baseball bats, and they managed to hack a hole in my wall because it was a fake wall going onto my dressing room, linked to my bedroom
“ And if my door wasn’t locked, actually, they probably would have woken me up and probably killed my dog.”
Megan immediately called the police who told her not to speak to the masked raiders.
But fearing for her dog, Megan said she confronted them.
She added: I went over to them. I was naked.
“I was talking to this man in a balaclava, and he grabbed my hand and he took jewelry off of me.
“Like I actually was holding hands with the robber, and they had a conversation outside the wall, and they made a phone call.
“I was shaking. I’d cut my foot. There was blood everywhere. It was like a bloody murder scene.
“And then I’m standing naked, and they just left with nothing, with nothing else.”
Megan said she believes the men had always planned to attack her.
She said: “It was obviously targeted.
“[The police] wanted me to go on trial.
“And I just said to them, like, I actually can’t physically do that. Go through it.”
Despite the men being jailed, Megan said she was horrified to learn they had been released not long after being locked up.
Megan explained: “They got caught, and then they went on trial, and then a year later, they just got let out.
“They’re just roaming the roads.”
Megan, who found fame on Towie and Celebrity Big Brother before pursuing a career as a singer, said she will now not stay in the UK alone.
She added: “It scared me so much to be in the UK and to live in the UK on my own, because obviously Ollie’s in Germany.”
