Kerry Katona
The singer (26), 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 robbers took Mr Croft back to his family before locking the trio in a room.
The raiders then stole around £100,000 worth of goods, including the couple's blue BMW, two laptop computers and jewellery.
The couple managed to free themselves from the room at around 12.30am and alerted police.
Ms Katona is the ex-wife of former Westlife singer Bryan McFadden. The pair split in September 2004 after five years together.
