The 28-year-old actor was left reeling yesterday morning (11.07.17) when he woke up to discover someone had broken into his home while he and his family were sleeping, snatched the keys to his vehicle and made off with the plush motor without a trace.

Taking to his Twitter account last night, the hunk said: "Someone came into my house last while we were sleeping and robbed my car keys and took my car ... don't make it easy for the nxt tw*t (sic)," followed by a punching emoji, angry face and padlock.

But things got worse for last year's 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' finalist as the police failed to turn up and rung him up at midnight to apologise for their absence.

He explained: "Igot burgled this morning police still haven't turned up they just rang me now at 12am apologising they couldn't make it round #goodluck (sic)."

The burglary comes just weeks after Adam revealed he had quit his role as Adam Barton - a part he's played for eight years - in the long-running soap 'Emmerdale' because he wants to spread his wings and try something different for the time being.

He said: "I've had an amazing eight years working on 'Emmerdale' and I've loved every minute of it. It was a really tough decision to take to leave but I felt that now is the time to move on and challenge myself with some new roles. I'd like to thank everyone at 'Emmerdale' for both giving me the opportunity to work as part of such a great team and for giving my character Adam Barton some great storylines too."

It's not known how Adam will bow out of the programme or whether bosses will leave the door open for his character to return in the future, but it's believed he'll remain on screens until the early part of next year and his exit story will be "huge" for him.
