Nick Grimshaw’s Ibiza holiday takes terrifying turn after thieves gas and raid villa
Former BBC Radio 1 presenter Nick Grimshaw was the victim of a robbery while on holiday in Ibiza, Spain. Earlier this month, the beloved radio DJ travelled to the seaside destination to celebrate his 40th birthday, renting out a villa with family and friends – including his fiancé Mesh Henry and his 81-year-old mother Eileen.
However, his birthday celebration reportedly took a terrifying turn when a gang raided their rental property. According to The Independent, the unidentified robbers flooded the villa with sedative gas before entering in hazmat suits.
Fortunately, Nick and his loved ones were unharmed during the incident and are safely back in the UK. In a statement to the news outlet, a source gave insight into the situation and revealed that other high-end villas in Ibiza have faced similar attacks throughout the summer. “Sadly, Nick’s villa was on the target list, simply due to it being known for being used by high net worth clients,” they explained. “The gang would have had no idea who he was.
Sadly, it’s a case of the wrong place at the wrong time, but it’s scary, to say the least.” While Nick was upset over the terrifying ordeal, the source revealed that he wanted to keep it off social media. “At the end of the day, it was meant to be a private, low-key break with his family,” they added.
