Arabella Chi has reportedly been robbed in Spain
The 32-year-old reality star/model was targeted by two men in a roadside robbery on Thursday night (09.11.23) after taking the ferry from Ibiza to Barcelona as she made her way back to the UK with her dad Paul and her dog Astro.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Shortly after driving off the ferry, she had car issues with the two back wheels. Her dad realised both tyres had been slashed. With only one spare, they decided Arabella would stay with the car as it was packed full of suitcases and her dad should get an Uber to go and get help."
The publication reports Arabella locked herself inside the car after her dad left, but two men used a high-tech device to unlock the vehicle remotely and dragged her out before snatching her handbag, purse and passport.
She's said to have kept hold of her phone after pleading with the men and she was able to call her dad after the robbers ran off. Paul is then believed to have returned to the scene with police officers to help his daughter.
The telly star is now said to be recuperating at home after her ordeal and is being comforted by family and friends.
The insider added: "Arabella is so shaken, but pleased to be back home. It was a hugely traumatic experience for both her and Paul, who is reeling."
Arabella has yet to comment publicly on the incident.
