£1m raid on Cilla's home

Masked raiders who held a knife to the throat of Cilla Black’s youngest son escaped with more than £1m (€1.4m) worth of jewellery, cash and gold, the presenter said tonight.

The collection included gifts from her late husband Bobby Willis.

Former Blind Date host Cilla said it was “heartbreaking” to lose the items but it did not compare to the ordeal her 22-year-old son Jack had endured.
