And to add to her woes, eagle-eyed police spotted the tax disc on her Audi had expired on August 31 and she had to rush off and buy another.

The burglary was discovered by letting agents yesterday morning.

The burglary tops a catalogue of misery for the former Big Brother star following the race row with Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on this year's Celebrity Big Brother.
