The 36-year-old beauty's husband Jay Rutland admitted it has been "incredibly difficult" to see how much his wife has changed since thieves made off with £25 million in cash and jewellery, and he revealed the shocking incident has also impacted on their six-year-old daughter Sophia.

According to The Sun newspaper, Jay - who also has four-month-old Serena with Tamara - told police: "It is incredibly difficult for me to see how nervous my wife has become. Sophia asks if the burglars are coming back.

"I feel anger they have stolen from us, fear they could come back and sadness that sentimental pieces of jewellery cannot be replaced."

Earlier this week, 30-year-old Emile-Bogdan Savastru, his mother Maria Mester, 47, security worker Sorin Marcovici, 53, and hotel concierge Alexandru Stan, 49, were cleared of conspiracy to burgle following allegations they helped the thieves who flew from Italy to steal from Tamara and Jay's London home, as well as raids on homes belonging to football manager Frank Lampard and late Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

Savastru - who was caught with a stolen watch - was convicted of attempting to remove criminal property and sentenced to six months imprisonment, while his mother - a sex worker, has also been jailed for 10 months for refusing to give her mobile pin.

Judge Martin Edmunds, QC, told Savastru ,: "It is clear that you ingratiated yourself with these men assuming it would be to your or your mother's benefit and expecting reward and aware of the resources available to them.

"In your evidence you said you were suspicious when you first found the watch because it was in a Rolex box and there would be no reality in ignoring the other evidence you yourself gave of finding jewels, albeit you say not genuine ones, in the lining of the bag...

"There is no glamour in these burglaries however well known or wealthy the home owners may be.

"The invasion of a person's home, the place where they have a right to feel safe and secure, is a grave crime."

Meanwhile, it has also now been revealed that the trial almost collapsed following a row between jurors.

One woman claimed she was being bullied by the others, but the rest of the group told the judge she had repeatedly played loud music through headphones in the jury room and frequently left discussions to talk on her phone.

After hearing from all 12 jurors, Judge Edmonds decided to discharge the female juror having admitted he had also "observed" her out of the jury room and on her phone.

The judge told the woman she was "not at fault" and thanked her for her service, before discharging her and continuing the trial.

Judge Edmunds told the remaining jurors: "Do you know, this is the first time since I've been here in 10 years that this has happened, for that I should perhaps be grateful."
