Karren Brady has revealed her terror after a burglar struck her £6million home four times in the space of 16 hours.
The Apprentice star, 55, claimed she has struggled sleeping and no longer likes being home alone after a series of ‘targeted’ break-ins at the house in Belgravia, central London.
Baroness Brady, her former footballer husband Paul Peschisolido and their two children have been left feeling on edge following the brief crimewave by drug user Gregory Adnane, The Sun first reported.
The former chef, 41, broke into a basement storage area multiple times at the terraced house on May 16, 2024.
The thief took a £1,700 Prada bag and Amazon parcels worth more than £2,500 after entering four times while the TV star was out working.
Today, he walked free from London’s Southwark crown court with an an 18-month suspended sentence after admitting two counts of burglary and two of theft.
In a victim impact statement, Baroness Brady claimed she felt ‘targeted, watched and exploited’ by the thief.

Baroness Brady, 55, joined The Apprentice as one of Lord Alan Sugar’s key advisers in the sixth series of the programme in 2010, and has remained a fixture ever since
The businesswoman wrote: ‘I’m writing this statement to express the profound impact that the burglary has had on me and my family.’
She added: ‘Since the burglary I have felt unsafe in my own home.
‘Knowing that a stranger invaded my personal space, went through my belongings and had total disregard for my privacy has left me feeling vulnerable and unsettled.
‘Before this crime I felt safe in my home. That feeling has now been shattered.’
Adnane targeted the TV star’s home after noticing unattended Amazon parcels on her doorstep as he cycled past.
He then repeatedly returned to the luxury address to illegally rummage through the family’s belongings in a store room.
Judge David Tomlinson offered Adnane a ‘last chance’ but said any breaches of his order will ‘undoubtedly’ result in prison.
The judge said: ‘Unquestionably these offences cross the custody threshold.
‘What is plain is that you repeatedly targeted the same premises and it isn’t long between what may start as a spontaneous offence, becomes a string of targeted offences.’
He sentenced the thief to 18 months prison suspended for 21 months, along with 25 days rehabilitation activity and 100 hours unpaid work.
