Mark replied: "Thank you very much. Very exciting times ahead, a little bit nerve-wracking but I'm ready. I'm excited!"

Chiming in TV star Angela asked: "Are you going to decorate the nursery then?"

As he hesitated to give a reply, actresses Simone and Sindhu revealed that they would be happy to help with the decor as they jokingly offered their services.

But the pair recently hit headlines following a burglary. Michelle and Mark reportedly sought refuge in a locked bedroom during a frightening break-in at their mansion last week.

The incident occurred around 6:20 p.m. on Tuesday, February 18 when four intruders are said to have forced entry into their home. They searched the property before fleeing, according to Essex Police. Officers arrived at the scene in Ongar within eight minutes.

Former Towie star Mark reportedly heard a loud crash as a patio window was broken and quickly took Michelle, 37, to a locked bedroom where they waited for help to arrive. The burglars, described as wearing balaclavas and dark clothing, reportedly left empty-handed after hearing Mark shout.

According to reports, the couple’s high-tech security system alerted the authorities, leading to a quick police response to the break-in.

An Essex Police spokesperson said: "We are continuing to support and safeguard the victims and are conducting high-visibility patrols in the area.

"We are exploring a number of lines of inquiry including but not limited to forensic opportunities, CCTV and witness statements. Anyone with information should contact us as soon as possible."
