Conor Benn’s wife Victoria reveals horror after thief breaks in while she was at home with baby son
BOXER Conor Benn’s wife has spoken of her terror after an intruder broke in while she was at home with their toddler.
Victoria Benn was home alone with her two-year-old son Eli when she went to investigate a noise and saw a man stood on the stairs.
The mum, married to welterweight champ Conor, said the robber left empty-handed and thankfully neither she or Eli were hurt.
Describing the horror on her YouTube channel, Victoria said she was eating her dinner on Sunday evening when she heard a noise.
The mum added: “I thought ‘There’s no way that could have been a breeze’.
“I walked out to the hallway and I found a man on the stairs, it was probably the most scariest thing that has ever happened to me.”
Victoria explained she “lost it” after finding the intruder and began “screaming and swearing at him”.
The mum said: “I cannot explain the feeling that took over me, it makes me want to be sick.
“When you’re going towards that noise and then seeing someone in your house.”
She said her phone was charging in the bedroom so she couldn’t get help straightaway as she did not want to leave Eli alone.
Eventually she managed to raise the alarm with her neighbours and the man left without taking anything.
Victoria believes the thief was watching the house as Conor – son of ring legend Nigel Benn – had left 30 minutes before he broke in.
She has slammed the “disgusting” robber for their “audacity” at targeting her while she was home alone.
But she thanked Essex Police for their help since the break-in and confirmed there is now extra security at their home.
Victoria added: “How horrible it is to know your house broken into. When I’m now home alone without Conor it’s not a nice feeling at all and it made me feel very vulnerable.
“Now I have that fear when I’m home alone with Eli that anything can happen. To go through that was honestly the most scariest moment of my life.”
It comes after Conor revealed this month he wanted to kill himself after being accused of taking a banned testosterone-boosting drug
The boxer told Piers Morgan that he suffered night terrors and panic attacks in the wake of the drugs tests last autumn.
And in Piers Morgan Uncensored, Benn also revealed he wants to sue British boxing’s governing body for loss of earnings and damage to his reputation.
