The 'Only Way is Essex' star has had thousands of pounds worth of jewellery, designer handbags, sunglasses, technology and memory boxes with sentimental value snatched from her property in Essex after thieves managed to break in during the evening.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "She returned from a night out in Faces last weekend to find her home completely ransacked.

"They took everything they could get their hands on - including jewellery that had been given to her by her grandparents, who are no longer alive.

"The thieves rummaged through her personal memory boxes that had massive sentimental value, including her name tag from the opening night of 'Celebrity Big Brother'. She's had designer handbags, shoes and sunglasses stolen and they even went as far to go through her underwear drawer. Megan feels totally traumatised - this is the worst thing that could have happened following her split from Pete Wicks."

A spokesperson for the 25-year-old beauty has confirmed the police are investigating.

They said: "Megan's home was burgled at the weekend and police are investigating."

The 'Far Cry From Love' hitmaker is convinced the burglars managed to work out where she lived from watching the scenes filmed there on 'TOWIE' over the summer.

Megan hasn't had the easiest of times recently as she split from her boyfriend Pete last week following a series of blazing rows over her recent music success, which has seen her storm the iTunes Download Charts with her single 'High Heeled Shoes'.

The star then came under fire earlier this week when it was claimed she'd rekindled her romance with her ex-boyfriend Harry Eden just days after she and Pete broke up.

An insider said recently "Megan has always had this bond with Harry. It's no surprise she turned to him when things got hard with Pete and now she's single they're seeing how things go before deciding whether to go for a full on relationship."
