In a video titled 'Let's Talk', Molly-Mae revealed: "It was without a doubt the worst thing that's ever happened to me, to us, I'd probably say."
"It was just awful, horrendous, terrible. So we have been dealing with a lot... Our apartment was robbed, ransacked, emptied. You name it," she continued.
It's estimated that more than £800,000 (approx. $1.4 million) worth of stuff was taken from the Manchester apartment. But the 22-year-old said the money wasn't the saddest part of it.

When asked how she was feeling about not being able to go home, the former reality star started to tear up about having to move homes.
"I've never understood anyone to have an emotional connection with an apartment, it's so strange," she said.
"When I speak about the apartment and moving out of it, that is the saddest part of this whole situation for me. It's not the things that were taken, it's not feeling violated of our space, it's not any of that. It's literally the sole fact we had to leave that apartment like that."

The pair were "left with not a lot of stuff at all", and the incident has forced her to re-evaluate how she uses social media after finding herself feeling "guilty" over the robbery.
"I share every aspect of my life with you, things I buy, where I live, what I do with my boyfriend, where I'm going. It's really hard to find that balance of sharing so that you guys want to keep up with my life and see what I'm doing, but then also keeping my life private so that I stay safe," she revealed.
Molly-Mae found herself questioning if the incident was her fault for sharing too much of her life online.
"I think I potentially lost that balance. Karma will come for the people that did it," she said. "It's evil."
