Former Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona and her baby daughter were held captive at their home by three armed burglars today.

The 26-year-old singer, her husband Mark Croft, 36, and five-month-old daughter Heidi were attacked at around midnight at their home in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

The masked gang, armed with a sledgehammer, crowbar and large kitchen knife, held Ms Katona and her daughter in a downstairs room while her husband was taken through the house by raiders.

The family were left unharmed but the robbers escaped with their blue BMW and numerous valuable items.
