Traitors star burgled after sharing holiday photos
Paul Gorton believes he was targeted after sharing his holiday snaps on social media
Traitors star Paul Gorton did not think twice about sharing photographs on social media while enjoying a family holiday with his wife and two young children.
But when he returned home he discovered that his house in Cheshire had been burgled just days earlier.
"The eerie bit is at 21:10 BST I posted that me and Kate were by the side of the pool, we've got full bellies, the kids are in bed, we're actually having our little bit of the holiday," he said.
"About 20 minutes later, little did we know, our house has been broken into."
Paul's bike as well as several sentimental items including an irreplaceable ring from Kate's grandmother were stolen in the burglary on 28 August.
The perpetrators managed to break in through the bi-fold doors at the back of the house by using a technique known as lock snapping before cutting the broadband connection.

Paul, who was a contestant on the second series of the popular BBC series, said he reported the burglary to Cheshire Police, with the force describing it as a "one-off hit".
As a result, Paul believes it was a "targeted attack".
