Two masked men attempted to break into Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley’s Ksh343 million mansion last night while her family slept.
Tanya posted video footage of her football manager husband Phil Bardsley talking to police outside their home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, in the early hours of this morning.
It is believed officers were alerted after the would-be robbers were picked up on the couple’s security system. Luckily, the masked gang were scared off before they were able to break into the property.
A source told The Sun: ‘The family was home at the time, but luckily nobody was harmed. ‘Security and police turned up as fast as they could, but the two masked men got away.’
Warns neighbours
Tanya, 44, took to Instagram to warn other neighbours about the attempted break-in. She wrote: ‘Two masked men in Wilmslow. Lock your doors, put your cameras on and call the police if you see them.’
‘Thank God for Taurus Security Group,’ the TV personality added. Macclesfield Town FC assistant manager Paul could be seen wearing just a pair of blue shorts and Crocs as he spoke to police.
Tanya, who made her TV debut on The Real Housewives of Cheshire in 2015, is the show’s longest-serving cast member.
She married Phil in 2014 and the couple share four children together, Rocco, Renz, Ralphi and Gabriella.
Last month, they revealed they would be filming a new family reality ITVBe series, The Bardsley Brunch.
The Kardashian style series will follow the ups and downs of the couple’s life with their children and Tanya’s parents, Julie and Steve and her nan Irene.
Reality TV star
The production team has installed GoPro cameras throughout their home and placed small microphones in plant pots and on picture frames to capture the family’s life.
It comes after Tanya recalled how she ‘didn’t understand the world’ before her ADHD diagnosis, as she gave an insight into her ‘chaotic’ family life.
The Real Housewives star, who was diagnosed back in 2020, has been open about her struggle and her son Rocco’s diagnosis.
Speaking ahead of their new six-part reality show, Tanya spoke about her home life.
In an interview with OK! Magazine, Tanya described them as ‘more like the Clampetts who won the lottery’ than the Kardashians as she teased what fans can expect from their show.
Rocco, 16, received his ADHD diagnosis shortly after Tanya shared hers, and she has now told how they live in a house where ‘everyone is on the spectrum somewhere’.
She told the publication: ‘I’m really proud my children will grow up feeling differently to how I did, because I want them to feel accepted and proud of who they are.
‘I feel quite sad for the younger me. She struggled so much and didn’t really understand the world. This world isn’t built for all of us, trying to sit in a classroom in a certain way and learn in a certain way.
‘But Rocco just isn’t bothered by having ADHD at all, and actually he’s quite proud of it now.’
